Notes

1Radiative lifetime for the upper component of C 2Π is τ(v=8)= 16.5 ns Dagdigian, Cruse, et al., 1974 and for the lower component of C 2Π is τ(v=4)= 17.9 ns Dagdigian, Cruse, et al., 1974. A shorter lifetime of τ= 8 ns Capelle, Bradford, et al., 1973 by Capelle, Bradford, et al., 1973.
2Preliminary data, no details.
3Thermochemical value (flame photometry) Gurvich, Ryabova, et al., 1973. In agreement with a theoretical lower limit of 3.76 eV Krasnov and Karaseva, 1965.
