We report the first gas phase spectroscopic study of chromium mononitride. CrN molecules were generated in our laser vaporization molecular beamsource and studied using laser induced fluorescence techniques. Twelve vibronic subbands of Cr14N have been rotationally analyzed in the 745–647 nm region. These bands are assigned to the A 4Πr← X 4Σ− transition. The assigned ground state electron configuration 1δ29σ1 and symmetry ...
