Notes

From the photoelectron spectrum Frost, Lee, et al., 1972: see also Jonathan, Morris, et al., 1972.

A = -298.46 Horani, 1979.

From the photoelectron spectrum Frost, Lee, et al., 1972; Jonathan, Morris, et al., 1972 and King, Kroto, et al., 1972 give 1330 and 1290 cm^-1, respectively. Only one level has been found in the optical spectrum Horani, 1979.

Spin-splitting constant gamma

From a short extrapolation of the vibrational levels in A ¹ Sigma

⁺ Bell, Ng, et al., 1972, assuming that the atomic products arising at the dissociation limit are C, ³P₂ + S, ³P₂. The latest thermochemical (mass-spectrometric) value is D₀⁰= 7.21 eV Hildenbrand, 1972. Both values agree with an upper limit (< 7.7 eV) derived from infrared chemiluminescence studies Hancock, Morley, et al., 1971, and the corresponding heats of formation, Delta

H^o_f0 = 66.11 or 69.5 kcal/mole, respectively, are supported by photodissociation Okabe, 1972 and photoionization Dibeler and Walker, 1967 results for CS₂. See, however, Hubin-Franskin, Locht, et al., 1976, Hubin-Franskin, Katihabwa, et al., 1976 who suggest Delta

H^o_f0 = 33 kcal/mole, implying D₀⁰ = 8.7₉ eV.
