The Born--Oppenheimer potential curves of the first two excited {sup 1}{Sigma}{sup +}{sub {ital g}} states of H{sub 2}, {ital EF} and {ital GK}, exhibit double minima which arise from avoided crossings between the electronic energy curves of the doubly excited 1{sigma}{sup 2}{sub {ital u}} configuration and of the {sup 1}{Sigma}{sup +}{sub {ital g}} Rydberg states of the 1{sigma}{sub {ital g}}2{ital s}{sigma}{sub {ital g}} and 1{sigma}{sub {ital g}}3{ital d}{sigma}{sub {ital g}} configurations. The vibrational structures of the adiabatic electronic states are mutually coupled {ital via} strongly {ital R}-dependent off-diagonal electronic matrix elements of the {ital d}/{ital dR} and {ital d}{sup 2}/{ital dR}{sup 2} operators. Furthermore the rotational structures are characterized by strong angular coupling within the complex of 3{ital d}-singlet-{ital gerade} states {ital G} {sup 1}{Sigma}{sup +}{sub {ital g}}, {ital I} {sup 1}{Pi}{sub {ital g}}, and {ital J} {sup 1}{Delta}{sub {ital g}}.
