The (0,0) band of the electronic transition of VN near 450.5 nm has been investigated using the technique of laser vaporization/reaction with free jet expansion and cavity ring-down laser absorption spectroscopy. A new transition system was observed, which has been assigned as the E3Δ-X 3Δ system. All three ΔΩ = 0 subband transitions were recorded and rotationally analyzed. A least-squares fit of the measured line positions yielded molecular constants for the new E3Δ state. The bond length, ro, of the E3Δ state was determined to be 1.6937 A, which is the longest among the known states of VN. The E3Δ state is expected to arise from the electronic configuration 1δ110σ1, where the 10σ orbital is an antibonding orbital. A comparison of the observed electronic states of VN to those of the isoelectronic TiO molecule supports the assignment.

The Pe(1), F = 2.5 branch feature of the (0,0) D 3Π0e - X 3Δ1 band system of 51 VN was recorded as a function of an applied static electric field. The resultant Stark splitting and shifts were analyzed giving values of 3.07(7) D and 6.1(4) D for the X 3Δ1 and D 3Π0e states, respectively, for the magnitude of the permanent electric dipole moment, μ. Similarly, the Ree(0.5) branch feature of the (0,0) A 4Π3/2 - X 4Σ- band system of 52 CrN was recorded as a function of an applied static electric field and analyzed to produce μ values of 2.31(4) D and 5.42(2) D for the X 4Σ- and A 4Π3/2 states, respectively. In order to facilitate the dipole moment determinations for 52CrN it was necessary to record and analyze the field free spectrum of the (0,0) A 4Π3/2 - X 4Σ- subband system. A comparison of the dipole moments for the first row monoxides and mononitrides is made and trends are discussed with reference to a molecular orbital correlation scheme.
