The iodine molecule: insights into intra- and intermolecular perturbation in diatomic molecules: by S. Lukashov, A. Petrov, and A. Pravilov, Cham, Springer, 2018, 199 pp., £74.99 (hardback), ISBN: 9783319700717. Once the optical transitions have been dealt with, collision-induced transitions and van der Waals complexes of the iodine molecule are covered. While these data give insights on one of the very important limiting cases of diatomic molecules, I would argue the implication of the subtitle, that it offers insights into all diatomic molecules, is rather too strong.
