 Title: PURE MW DATA FOR  v=0−6  OF PbI GIVE VIBRATIONAL SPACINGS AND A FULL ANALYTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY FUNCTION Author(s): Yoo, Ji Ho (Chris) Contributor(s): Le Roy, Robert J.; Walker, Nick; Evans, Corey Subject(s): Mini-symposium: High-Precision Spectroscopy Abstract: At last year's ISMS meeting, Zaleski {it et al.} reported new broadband MW spectroscopy measurements of pure rotational transitions in the $v=0-6$ levels of the $^2Pi_{1/2}$ ground electronic state of PbI.footnote{,D.P. Zaleski, H. K\"ockert, S.L. Stephens, N. Walker, L.-M. Dickens, and C. Evans, paper RE08 at the 69$^{rm th}$ International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, University of Illinois (2014).}~ The analysis presented at that time was a conventional $v$-level by $v$-level band-constant' analysis performed using the PGopher program.footnote{,{bf PGopher} - {it a Program for Simulating Rotational Structure}, C. M. Western, University of Bristol, http://pgopher.chm.bris.ac.uk} That level-by-level PGopher analysis yielded values of $B_v$, $D_v$ and five spin-splitting parameters for each vibrational level of each isotopologue. Ignoring the spin-splitting information, the $B_v$ and $D_v$ values were used to generate a set of synthetic pure $R(0)$ transitions for each level that were taken to represent the mechanical'' information about the molecule contained in these spectra. A standard direct-potential-fit (DPF) analysisfootnote{,{bf DPotFit 2.0}: {em A Computer Program for fitting Diatomic Molecule Spectra to Potential Energy Functions}, R.J. Le Roy, J. Seto and Y. Huang, University of Waterloo Chemical Physics Research Report CP-667 (2013); see http://leroy.uwaterloo.ca/programs/.} was then used to fit these data to an Expanded Morse Oscillator'' (EMO) potential function form. The well-depth parameter $mathcal{D}_e$ was fixed at the literature value, while values of the equilibrium distance $r_e$ and three EMO exponent-coefficient expansion potential shape' parameters are determined from the fits. The best fits to the data yield potentials whose fundamental vibrational spacings are in excellent agreement with experimentfootnote{,K. Ziebarth, R. Breidohr, O. Shestakov and E.H. Fink, {it Chem. Phys. Lett.} {bf 190}, 271 (1992).} together with reliable predictions for the first five overtone energies.
