Variational R‐matrix theory and generalized quantum defect theory are used to calculate the known first excited states of BaI and to predict the as yet unknown higher members of the Rydberg series of this molecule up to principal quantum numbers ν ≈ 9. The quantum defects of the Rydberg series of BaI, CaCl, BaF, and CaF are compared.
Keywords: excited molecular states, scattering theory, quantum defect theory, quantum chemistry, Rydberg states, dipolar molecules
