Abstract
Several forbidden electronic transitions of P2 in solid neon are examined. All of the six observed electronic states of P2 are found to be remarkably unshifted and unperturbed by the matrix. While some absorptions exhibit sharp zero-phonon lines, others are characterized by broad, intense phonon sidebands. This is shown to be a consequence of the orbitally forbidden nature of the corresponding transitions.
