Theoretical study of IR band intensities and electronic transition moments for the beta and delta systems of NO

The variation of the electronic transition moment with internuclear separation has been calculated for the beta and delta systems of NO. Theoretical band intensities for the fundamental and first two overtones have also been calculated for the ground state. The results are based on the self-consistent-field plus configuration-interaction technique, and they are compared with the existing experimental data. Theoretical potential-energy curves and the spectroscopic constants for the X-squared Pi, B-squared Pi, and C-squared Pi electronic states of NO are also reported.
