Notes

1Spin-splitting constant γ = 0.0073.
2A = +323.95.
3ΔG(3/2) = 416.57, ΔG(5/2)= 418.96, ΔG(7/2)= 420.98.
4A0 = +143.06, A1 = +142.87; see Kovacs, 1964 who also accounts for spin-rotation interaction and for the combined effects of spin-spin interaction and perturbations by 1Π states.
5ΔG(3/2) = 437.37.
6Λ-type doubling independent of J Douglas and Frackowiak, 1962 (v=0) ~0.07 cm-1, (v=1) ~0.16 cm-1, (v=2) ~0.25 cm-1.
7Notice that Table VIII of Douglas and Frackowiak, 1962 contains a number of misprints leading to disagreement with constants in Table XI.
8Spin-splitting constants λ0 = +2.9623, γ0 = +0.0018.
