The paper presents a theoretical study of the effect of a magnetic field on the lowest of the ²Π3/2 levels of N¹⁴{O}¹⁶$. The molecular Zeeman effect is calculated in detail and found to yield good agreement with experiment. Consideration is given to the energy of interaction, (a), of the spin of the ${N}¹⁴$ nucleus with the total electronic angular momentum in the external field, and (b) of the quadrupole moment of ${N}¹⁴$ with the electric field at the ${N}¹⁴$ nucleus. The last section contains an evaluation of the matrix elements needed in the computation of absolute intensities for the transitions within the $²{Π}3/2$ level.
