Notes

1Intensity perturbations and predissociations in both doublet components.
2Only fragments observed.
3Approximate deperturbed constants, A ~ +45. This level is strongly perturbed by v=11 of H 2Πi (B11 = 0.525, A11 = -110).
4Spin doubling constant γ0 ~ +0.1 for N ≤~ 20. The spin splitting increases rapidly at higher N because of a perturbation by H 2Π(v=1). I 2Σ+(v=1) (B1 ~ 0.695) interacts with H 2Π(v=2) at somewhat lower N values. A strong homogeneous interaction with levels of C 2Σ+ explains the larger than expected ΔG(1/2) value of I 2Σ+.
5A0 = -172.3.
6Perturbations by levels of E, I, C; see 3, 4, 7.
7ΔG(3/2) = 1414 Vervloet and Jenouvrier, 1976, ΔG(5/2) ~ 1372, ΔG(7/2) ~ 1378 Joshi, 1966. B1 ~ 0.7975, B2 ~ 0.8150 Vervloet and Jenouvrier, 1976; Balasubramanian and Narasimham, 1974 give B0 = 0.82876 and D0 = 1.404E-6 as well as γ0 = +0.0055. C 2Σ+ interacts strongly with I 2Σ+; in addition, v=1 is extensively perturbed by H 2Π(v=2) and G 2Σ-(v=2).
8Estimated lifetime τ(v=0) ~6.5 ns [Hanle effect measurements Silvers and Chiu, 1974].
9Observed in absorption by Donovan and Breckenridge, 1971 following the flash photolysis of OCS in the presence of excess N2O.
10Spin doubling constant γ0 = +0.034.
11B1 = 0.6780.
12The A state is strongly perturbed, particularly the 2Δ5/2 component [see Jenouvrier and Pascat, 1973]; the ΔG(1/2) values are from Barrow, Drummond, et al., 1954, ωexe from Narasimham and Srikameswaran, 1963, 2, and B0 from Jenouvrier and Pascat, 1973. Additional constants may be found in these references but, because of the perturbations, have limited meaning. Jenouvrier and Pascat, 1973 suggest that the perturbing state is 2Φ5/2.
13Only the 1-0 band has been observed and analyzed (B1 = 0.7716, v0 = 37203.9 and 36982.5). The v=0 level of 14N32S interacts with B 2Π1/2(v=8) Jenouvrier and Daumont, 1976; weak emission from this level was observed for 15N32S Jenouvrier and Daumont, 1976.
14Several perturbations. Except for v=8 (see 13), these interactions have not yet been analyzed.
15A0 = +222.94, A1 = +223.09, recalculated by Amano, Saito, et al., 1969 from the data of Zeeman, 1951.
16Λ-type doubling, Δ vfe = +0.013253(J+1/2) Amano, Saito, et al., 1969.
17Microwave sp. 21
18EPR sp. (2Π3/2)
19Estimate based on a linear Birge-Sponer extrapolation for the ground state O'Hare, 1970. Ab initio calculations O'Hare, 1970 give 5.2 eV.
20From the photoelectron spectrum Dyke, Morris, et al., 1977.
21μel(2Π1/2,v=0) = 1.81 D from Stark effect measurements in the rotation spectrum Amano, Saito, et al., 1969; Carrington, Howard, et al., 1968, using the EPR method, obtained 1.35 D. This value was recently revised to 1.86 D Byfleet, Carrington, et al., 1971. See also O'Hare, 1970. Hyperfine coupling constants Carrington, Howard, et al., 1968, Amano, Saito, et al., 1969, Uehara and Morino, 1969.
22D00(NS) + I.P.(S) - I.P.(NS).
23Vibrational constants from the photoelectron spectrum 30.
24Estimated value from a Franck-Condon factor analysis of the photoelectron peaks Dyke, Morris, et al., 1977.
