Abstract
ALTHOUGH band-systems of HCl+ and HBr+ have been known for many years, there is no definite spectroscopic information about HF+. Woods1 observed a many-line spectrum in the ultra-violet region in discharges in the presence of hydrogen fluoride vapour, and what was apparently the same spectrum was later excited by Barrow and Caunt2, who analysed five bands of a v′ = 0 progression. They were unable to identify the emitter with certainty, and later experiments, carried out in the hope of finding suitable conditions for the excitation of the spectrum of the deuteride, were unsuccessful.
