Notes

1UV absorption cross sections Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967. In the electron energy loss spectrum Geiger and Pfeiffer, 1968, there are peaks at 42000, 53000, and 68000 cm-1.
2See CsBr note d. From the emission data Kaufmann, Kinsey, et al., 1974, have derived a tentative potential energy curve for the upper state (see KBr note d); D'e ~450 cm-1.
3From the IR spectrum. The Dunham theory applied to the microwave results gives ωe = 279.80, ωexe = 1.167.
4Rot.-vibr. sp. 8
5μel[D] = 10.2391 + 0.05966(v+1/2) + 0.00019(v+1/2)2 missing citation, Hebert, Lovas, et al., 1968; nuclear electric quadrupole and spin-rotation coupling constants missing citation.
6Thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961, Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961; the analysis of the fluctuation bands gave D00 = 4.39 eV Levi, 1934 (and ω" = 280 Levi, 1934) according to Levi, 1934, or D00 ≤ 4.66 eV Barrow and Caunt, 1953 (and ω" = 305 Barrow and Caunt, 1953) according to Barrow and Caunt, 1953.
7Adiabatic potential from the photoelectron spectrum of Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, not corrected for thermal population of ground state vibrational levels; the band maximum (vertical potential) is at 8.92 eV.
8IR study of matrix isolated KCl Ismail, Hauge, et al., 1975.
9From D00(KCl) + I.P.(K) - I.P.(KCl) Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, give 0.19 eV.
10From the maxima in the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, missing citation. The two peaks corresponding to the 2P3/2 and 2P1/2 compoments of normal Cl are not resolved.
