Notes
| 1 | Constants for the only observed vibrational level of this state, from laser-excited fluorescence spectra. The v numbering is unknown (probably 6 ~≤ v' ~≤ 10). |
| 2 | The vibrational numbering adopted here was first suggested by Olsson, 1935 and has recently been confirmed by isotope studies Jha and Rao, 1969, Jha, Subbaram, et al., 1969, 97); v' has been increased by +3 units compared to the numbering used by Rosen, 1927, Herzberg, 1950, Prasad and Rao, 1955. |
| 3 | for v ~< 20, see 4. |
| 4 | Numerous local perturbations. A much stronger homogeneous perturbation affects levels with v ~≥ 20 Jha and Rao, 1969, Jha, Subbaram, et al., 1969,97. Predissociation above v=23 Hirschlaff, 1932, Olsson, 1935, i.e. at ~ 25600 cm-1 above X1 0g+(v=0); induced predissociation below this limit Kondratjew and Lauris, 1934, Olsson, 1935, Olsson, 1937; accidental predissociation of the vibrational type Rosen, 1945. |
| 5 | Rotational analyses of bands of 128Te2 Barrow and Du Parcq, 1972, extended by Yee and Barrow, 1972. |
| 6 | Continuous emission with maximum at 19200 cm-1 has been interpreted as recombination continuum Rompe, 1936. |
| 7 | missing note |
| 8 | Potentia1 curves Rao, Rao, et al., 1975. |
| 9 | Barrow and Du Parcq, 1972. |
| 10 | A weighted mean Barrow and Du Parcq, 1972 of several values obtained by spectroscopic Jha and Rao, 1969, Barrow and Du Parcq, 1972 and thermochemical Budininkas, Edwards, et al., 1968, Smoes, Mandy, et al., 1972 methods and from a photoionization threshold Berkowitz and Chupka, 1969. |
| 11 | By photoionization mass-spectrometry Berkowitz and Chupka, 1969, Guyon and Berkowitz, 1971. Similar values from the photoelectron spectrum Berkowitz, 1975, Streets and Berkowitz, 1976. |
| 12 | From D00(Te2) + I.P.(Te) - I.P.(Te2). |
