Pearse R.W.B., Gaydon A.G. The identification of molecular spectra

3rd edition, London, Chapman & Hall Ltd, 1965, 368 pages.These tables have been constructed with the aim of facilitating the identification of molecular spectra. Several excellent books have been written dealing with the theory of molecular spectra and some have included collections of molecular constants derived from the analysis of such spectra, yet it has hitherto remained necessary to search through original papers or to calculate the positions of bands from the tables of derived constants in order to identify a given system of bands. This task is usually tedious and sometimes impossible to one without considerable experience.Introduction
