The splitting is of interest because the Zeeman effect mixes these levels, producing a "magnetically induced transition" (MIT) from 3p(4)3d(4)D(7/2) to 3p(5) (2)p(3/2)(o) for modest magnetic field strengths characteristic of the active solar corona. We estimate the splitting using the Ritz combination formula applied to two lines in the UV region of the spectrum close to 1603.2 angstrom, which decay from the level 3p(4)(D-1)3d (2)G(7/2) to these two lower levels. The MIT and accompanying spin-forbidden transition lie near 257 angstrom. By careful inspection of a deep exposure obtained with the S082B instrument, we derive a splitting of. less than or similar to 7 +/- 3 cm(-1). The upper limit arises because of a degeneracy between the effects of non-thermal line broadening and FS splitting for small values of the latter parameter. Although the data were recorded on photographic film, we solved for optimal values of line width and splitting of 8.3 +/- 0.9 and 3.6 +/- 2.7 cm(-1).
