The spectroscopy of I/sub 2/, rotationally and vibrationally cooled in a supersonic expansion, was proved by multiphoton ionization mass spectroscopy. A new band system, in the vicinity of the Dalby bands, has been characterized and the upper level tentatively assigned to the O/sub g/(/sup 2/II/sub g/)nsigma state. Fragmentary spectra of the B /sup 3/II/sub 0/sup +/u/ valence state and other unidentified gerade Rydberg states have also bee observed. No evidence for I/sub 2/-rare gas clusters was obtained, presumably because of fast predissociation channels.
