The existence of a low-lying isomeric state at an energy of 7.6±0.5 eV was inferred from high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy [1]. Inamura and Haba [2] search for this state at a region 3.5 eV using a hollow-cathode electric discharge. Sakharow [3] questioned existing of this state at whole. Peik et al. [4] show that is possible to reach high lying electronic levels using a laser beam for the 232Th+. If the metastable state I=3/2 exist we should observe the effects of mixing of the nuclear wave functions of the ground state I=5/2 and the isomeric I=3/2 state via electronic shells. It will be revealed at the differences between the A- and B constants measured by means of the LIF methods and those predicted by semi-empirical calculations. Therefore, we consider advisable a systematic study of the hyperfine structure of the electronic levels of the 229Th atom or ions.
