The molecular constants for the A-state of I2 calculated by the NDE method have been reported by D.R.T.Appadoo et al . 1 Yukiya et al. measured the Q-branch lines up to v'=45 using a titanium sapphire ring laser, where the hyperfine components were partially resolved at the higher vibrational bands than those of v'=35, and determined the spectroscopic constants. 2 In this work we report the line splittings of the P and R-branches caused by the nuclear quadrupole coupling effect. The 23 bands of (v'=15-19) <- (v''=3), (v'=18-30) <- (v''=4), and (v'=25-29) <- (v''=5) were newly assigned. The unperturbed line positions were obtained using the high J approximation.

The spectroscopic constants of Tv, Bvf, Dv, Hv, and qv of the A-state determined by the aid of the Dunham parameters of the X-state 3 will be presented.
