We present a new calculation of intercombination transition probabilities between levels X1Σg+ and a 3Πu of the C2 molecule. Starting from experimental energy levels, we calculate RKR potential curves using Leroy's Near Dissociation Expansion (NDE) method; these curves give us wave functions for all levels of interest. We then compute the energy matrix for the four lowest states of C2, taking into account Spin-Orbit coupling between a 3Πu and A 1Πu on the one hand and X 1Σ+g and b 3Σg− on the other. First order wave functions are then derived by diagonalization. Einstein emission transition probabilities of the Intercombination lines are finally obtained.
