Abstract

A series of experiments, including laser excitation spectroscopy, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and time-resolved absorption measurements, has been carried out in an effort to elucidate the nature of the Hgl, FlgBr, and HgCl electronic excited states lying 2-5 eV above the ion pair $\left({\text{B}}^2{\displaystyle {\sum }_{1/2}^{+}}\right)$state.
