Strong perturbation in the 6¹Π state of the ³⁹K⁷Li molecule is analysed. The perturbing state is identified as 3³∆ on the basis of experimental observations aided by comparison with recent theoretical calculations. Possibilities of accessing triplet states of KLi via the 6¹Π∼ 3³∆ perturbation are discussed.
Two previously unknown electronic states of K_2, both of ^1Π_u symmetry, have been observed by polarisation labelling spectroscopy technique in the energy region of 31500-33100 cm^{-1} above the bottom of the molecular ground state potential well. Major molecular constants have been determined for these states and the potential curves have been constructed using the Rydberg-Klein-Rees method. The correlation of the observed states with atomic limits is discussed.
