Abstract

Transition metal nitrides are of growing interest due to their catalytic, energy storage, sensing, superconducting, and mechanical properties. The (0,0) band of the \textit{A} $^{4}$$\Pi$$_{r}$ – \textit{X} $^{4}$$\Sigma$$^{-}$ transition of MoN was recorded at Doppler-limited resolution using intracavity laser spectroscopy (ILS) integrated with a Fourier-transform spectrometer used for detection (ILS-FTS). The target MoN molecules were produced in the plasma discharge of a molybdenum-lined copper hollow cathode, using a gas mixture of Ar with about 1\% N$_{2}$ in a reaction chamber with about 1 Torr total pressure. Isotopologue structure in the spectrum is clearly visible and analysis is underway for the five abundant isotopologues with no nuclear spin (I$_{Mo}$=0): $^{92}$MoN (14.6\%), $^{94}$MoN (9.2\%), $^{96}$MoN (16.7\%), $^{98}$MoN (24.3\%), and $^{100}$MoN (9.7\%). The progress, preliminary results of this analysis, and comparison to a recent high-level computational study will be provided.
