Observation of Na223Πg–13Σ+u bound-free emissions generated from Na(3p) in a reactive oxidation process

The chemiluminescent reaction products of the (Na, Na2)+Br halogenation system at concentrations in excess of 1012 cm−3 are considered. In a purely reaction driven environment evidence is obtained for the formation of the Na2 23Πg excited state and bound-free emission associated with the 23Πg−13Σu+ band system.
