A rotational analysis of the 2780 Å emission band obtained in a microwave discharge through CCl4 vapor and photographed on a 20-ft grating spectrograph shows that a 2Δi(b) → 2Πr(a) transition of the CCl radical is responsible, not 2Σ → 2Π(a) as reported by previous workers. Molecular constants are given for the combining states, as well as a vibrational analysis that identifies the 2780 Å band as the (0–0) band.
