✦ Synopsis

Rotationally resolved photodissociation spectra of mass-selected internally cold 58Ni~" have been observed for twenty bands in four different electronic transitions of the isolated ion. The rotational analysis provides rotational constants as well as the total angular momentum (spin + orbit) along the internuclear axis for both states in each transition. The rotationvibration constant, c%, and the equilibrium bond length r e were also determined for three electronic states. An estimate of the excited state lifetime is also presented.
