Notes
| 1 | Low temperature matrix absorption; not observed in the gas phase. |
| 2 | From Harrington, Seel, et al., 1970. Slightly different constants in Richards, 1969. |
| 3 | Spin splitting constants Hougen, 1962 Richards, 1969 : λ(v=0)= +0.53 , γ1(v=0) = -0.009 , γ2(v=0) = -0.007 . |
| 4 | Perturbations. |
| 5 | Radiative lifetime τ(v=0,1) = 0.41 μs Diebold and Wentink, 1970. |
| 6 | Absolute transition moments, band oscillator strengths Harrington, Seel, et al., 1970. This reference contains a useful review and bibliography of earlier work. |
| 7 | The existence of a new system between 13900 and 14500 cm-1, tentatively identified by Grosjean and Rosen [see Gatterer, Junkes, et al., 1957], is doubtful since the 2-0 and 0-3 sequences of B-X and C-X, respectively, are expected to overlap in this region. |
| 8 | [For a more rigorous treatment of the fine structure see Veseth, 1975.] |
| 9 | It is not certain whether these bands form a new system or are part of B-X. |
| 10 | The ESR spectrum of matrix isolated VO Kasai, 1968 is compatible only with a 4Σ- ground state, confirming theoretical predictions by Carlson and Moser, 1966. |
| 11 | Spin splitting constants Hougen, 1962 Richards, 1969: λ(v=0)= +1.371 , γ1(v=0) = +0.0112 , γ2(v=0) = +0.0111 . Large nuclear magnetic hfs, b = 0.080 cm-1 Kasai, 1968, Richards and Barrow, 1968, 2. An unusual perturbation occurs in v=0,1 between F2 and F3 levels with ΔN = ΔF = 0 Richards and Barrow, 1968, 2. |
| 12 | ESR sp. 15 |
| 13 | Thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry) Berkowitz and Inghram, 1957, Coppens, Smoes, et al., 1967, Frantseva and Semenov, 1969, Farber, Uy, et al., 1972. |
| 14 | Subband origin at 12706.8 cm-1. |
| 15 | In argon matrix. |
