    Abstract

    Theoretical and experimental evidence is collected which indicates that the upper level of the C2 high-pressure bands (d 3Πg (v' = 6) → a 3Πu) is populated via a potential-curve crossing by the metastable state 5Πg. This metastable state is populated preferentially during formation of C2 from free carbon atoms.
