The absorption spectrum of the van der Waals molecule NaKr due to the transition X 2Σ→A2Π has been observed with high resolution using a tunable single-mode cw dye laser and producing the molecules by means of supersonic expansion. About 600 lines due to the most abundant Kr-isotope Kr84 have been analyzed. The spectroscopic parameters of molecular rotation, of fine structure splitting and of λ-type doubling have been obtained for the vibrational levels v′=10⋅⋅⋅14 of the A 2Π state and for the level v″=0 of the X 2Σ state. The experimental positions of the band origins of the vibrational transitions are in satisfactory agreement with the results of model potential calculations. The equilibrium distances of the X 2Σ and of the A 2Π state of NaKr84 have been determined to be 4.919(7) and 3.02(9) Å, respectively. For the well depth we obtain values of (69±4), (790±60), and (750±60) cm−1 for X 2Σ, A 2Π1/2, and A 2Π3/2, respectively.
