A polarisation labelling technique is used to ensure rotational resolution of the spectra and to enable unambiguous assignment of the NaLi transitions. A hitherto unknown electronic state of 1Π symmetry is observed. Major molecular constants of the state are determined and its potential curve constructed using the inverted perturbation approach method."]
