transition between a 2 Sigma+ state and the ground state X 2 Sigma+. The (0-0) band is
rotationally analysed. The upper electronic state at an energy of about 5800 cm-1 is
identified with the previously predicted (2) 2 Sigma+ state. Values of constants (in cm-1, for
upsilon= 0, Ba 7 Li) are as follows: T 00= 5779.57, B 0= 0.21683, 10 6 D 0= 0.800, Y 0=
0.156.
