Notes

1From band maxima in the photoelectron spectrum Goodman, Allen, et al., 1974, Potts, Williams, et al., 1974.
2Removal of an electron from the halogen 4p shell of Na+ Br-.
3Thermochemical value [ Brewer and Brackett, 1961, Stull and Prophet, 1971; flame photometry, Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961].
4Onset of a broad photoelectron peak with maximum at 8.80 eV, not corrected for thermal population of ground state levels Potts, Williams, et al., 1974. See also Goodman, Allen, et al., 1974.
5UV absorption cross sections Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967; Absorption at higher energies produces fluorescence from Na (3p 2P), maximum efficiency at 50500 cm-1 Earl and Herm, 1974.
6The absorption spectrum of NaBr trapped in inert gas matrices shows band structure at v > 32300 cm-1; under certain conditions as many as 16 peaks have been observed with spacings of approximately 453 and 523 cm-1 in Ar, 529 in Kr, and 472 in N2 Oppenheimer and Berry, 1971.
7From the IR spectrum Rice and Klemperer, 1957; omegae = 298.49 Rice and Klemperer, 1957 and omegaexe = 1.16 Rice and Klemperer, 1957 have been calculated by Rusk and Gordy, 1962 from the microwave results using Dunham's theory.
8muel[D] = 9.0918 + 0.0531(v + 1/2), v leq 2 Hebert, Lovas, et al., 1968. Melendres, 1968, quoted in Miller, Finney, et al., 1973, gives eqQ values and their dependence on v.
9From D00(NaBr) + I.P.(Na) - I.P.(NaBr). Potts, Williams, et al., 1974 give 0.49 eV using a corrected value of I.P.(NaBr).
