Abstract

Intensities and energies of the three lowest singlet-triplet transitions of the ozone molecule have been obtained by means of analytic response theory calculations based on multi-configuration wavefunctions. Contrary of the accepted interpretation of a 1A2←X1A1 transition we find that the lowest electronic band in the ozone spectrum, the Wulf band, is due to a singlet-triplet 3A2←X1A1 transition (oscillator strength 6 × 10-7). The calculations also explain the absence of observable absorption to the lowest a 3B2 state because of negligible oscillator strength (8 × 10-10).
