	abstract = {The (0,0) and (1,0) bands of the E(3)Pi-X (3)Delta transition of TiO in the near-infrared have been recorded by frequency modulated laser absorption spectroscopy in a laser ablation/free jet expansion source. The observed linewidths (FWHM) varied from 300 to 500 MHz according to the expansion conditions and are dominated by residual Doppler broadening in the unskimmed source. Data for the (0,0) band have been obtained for TiO molecules containing all the naturally occurring Ti isotopes but, for the weaker (1,0) band, only for (TiO)-Ti-48. Rotational constants for the two upper state vibrational levels were derived by fitting the data to an effective Hamiltonian; equilibrium parameters have been calculated. The experimental results are compared to the results of ab initio calculations on the E-X system. Ab initio results for the b-a system and for the lowest (3)Sigma(-) state are also presented. They indicate that the D (3)Sigma(-) state is not a very low-lying state. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).},

	abstract = {The (A) over tilde (2)Sigma(+)-X (2)Pi(i) transition of jet-cooled silicon methylidyne, SiCH, has been recorded by laser-induced fluorescence in the 850-600 nm region. The radical was produced in an electric discharge using tetramethylsilane as the precursor. Fifteen cold bands of SiCH and 16 bands of SiCD have been assigned vibrationally, giving the upper state frequencies as v(2)({\textquoteright})=715/558 cm(-1) and v(3)({\textquoteright})=1168/1127 cm(-1) for SiCH/SiCD. Rotational analysis of the 0(0)(0) and 3(0)(3) bands for each isotopomer has given the following molecular structures: r(0)({\textquoteright})(Si-C)=1.692 52(8), r(0)({\textquoteright})(C-H)=1.0677(4), r(0)({\textquoteright})(Si-C)=1.6118(1), and r(0)({\textquoteright})(C-H)=1.0625(5) Angstrom. The silicon-carbon bond length in the X (2)Pi ground state of SiCH (electron configuration ...sigma(2)pi(3)) is typical for a Si=C double bond; in the (A) over tilde (2)Sigma(+) excited state (...sigma(1)pi(4)) it corresponds to a triple bond. This work provides the first experimental measurement of the length of the carbon-silicon triple bond. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(00)00508-0].},

The new levels can be assigned to our electronic states, here labeled G(3) Phi. H-3 Phi, I-3 Phi. and J(3) Pi.
