Notes

1 Krishnamurty and Narasimham, 1969 report a breaking-off in the d→c 1-1 band above J'=15 which they attribute to predissociation in the upper state. Intensity anomalies are confirmed Graham and Lew, 1978 for the d →c 1-1 and 1-0 bands, but higher rotational levels (except J'=l6) do emit in transitions to the b state Graham and Lew, 1978. Similar intensity perturbations are seen in other d→b and d→c bands.
2He = +10E-8.
3Radiative lifetime τ(v=0) = 18 ns Smith, 1969.
4Franck-Condon factors Smith and Liszt, 1971, Rao and Lakshman, 1973.
5ΔG(3/2) = 1694.08. The theoretical calculations of Kouba and Ohrn, 1970 predict a potential maximum resulting from the avoided crossing of the two 1Π states arising from N(2D)+H(2S) and N(2P)+H(2S).
6Λ-type doubling Δ vef(v=0) = +0.0165J(J+l).
7Predissociation by rotation in v=0 above J=22 and in v=1 above J=15 Krishnamurty and Narasimham, 1969, Graham and Lew, 1978. A much weaker predissociation, not seen on the photographic plates but detected by high-resolution lifetime measurements [ Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976, see 11], affects the lower J levels of both v=0 and 1 and may be caused by interaction with the unstable 5Σ- state arising from ground state atomic products. All rotational structure in v=2 is diffuse except for J=1.
8Electric dipole moments of a 1Δ, A 3Π, c 1Π = 1.49, 1.31, 1.70 D, respectively Irwin and Dalby, 1965; see also Huo, 1968.
9 Graham and Lew, 1978.
10D1 = 26.6E-4 Graham and Lew, 1978, D2 = 51.0E-4 Graham and Lew, 1978; H0 = -26E-8 Graham and Lew, 1978, H1= -115E-8 Graham and Lew, 1978.
11Lifetime τ(v=0,J=2) = 411 ns Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976, decreasing with increasing rotation to 226 ns for J=l7 owing to weak predissociation; in v=1 the longest lifetime ( 57.1 ns) was observed Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976 for J=4. See also Fink and Welge, 1964, Smith, 1969 whose low-resolution measurements gave τ(v=0) ~ 460 ns. Relative transition probabilities Lents, 1973.
12A(v=0,1) = -34.79; from Veseth, 1972 who gives also spin-spin and spin-rotation interaction constants. See also Horani, Rostas, et al., 1967, Bollmark, Kopp, et al., 1970.
13"True" rotational constants of Veseth, 1972; see also Horani, Rostas, et al., 1967, Bollmark, Kopp, et al., 1970. Λ-type doubling parameters may be found in Horani, Rostas, et al., 1967, Veseth, 1972. The effective constants Murai and Shimauchi, 1966 are Be = 16.6901, αe = 0.7440.
14Weak predissociation in v=0 and 1 above N=25 and 15, respectively, observed by high-resolution lifetime measurements Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976 and attributed to interaction with the unstable 5Σ- state arising from 4S + 2S.
15+9.9E-8J3(J+l)3 - 13E-12J4(J+l)4 Veseth, 1972; D1 = 17.85E-4, H1 = +6.0E-8 Veseth, 1972.
16Lifetime τ(v=0,N=4) = 404 ns Smith, Brzozowski, et al., 1976, first increasing to 453 ns at N=25, then decreasing rapidly to 96 ns at N=31 owing to predissociation. Similar results for v=1, see 14. Absorption oscillator strength 0.0076 Bennett and Dalby, 1960, Fink and Welge, 1964, Smith, 1969; f values in Harrington, Modica, et al., 1966 refer to emission and should be multiplied by 2 for comparison. Relative transition probabilities Lents, 1973.
17Undegraded 0-0 band.
18ωeze = -0.0353 (v≤9).
19Rotational constants from the analysis of the d→b bands [ Graham and Lew, 1978, 1≤ v"≤9]. Whittaker, 1968 gives Be = 16.7326 Whittaker, 1968 and αe = 0.6049 from the c→b 0-0 and 0-1 bands.
20He = 11E-8.
21Radiative lifetime τ=18 ms Zetzsch and Stuhl, 1975, Gelernt, Filseth, et al., 1975.
22Earlier theoretical predictions by Hurley, 1959 and Cade, 1968 gave 14200 and 13100 cm-1, respectively.
23From a comparison with ΔG(1/2) of ND.
24v00(b-X) + v00(c-b) - v00(c-a); in very good agreement with the singlet-triplet separation of 12500 cm-1 derived by Okabe, 1970 from the difference of the threshold energies for the production of NH(c 1Π) + C0(X 1Σ) or NH(X 3Σ) + CO(a 3Π) by photodissociation of HNCO. From the photoelectron spectrum of NH- Engleking and Lineberger, 1976 find 12735 ± 137 cm-1.
25"True" rotational constants of Veseth, 1972; spin-splitting constants γ = -0.0117, λ ~ +0.82. The evaluation of the constants by Veseth, 1972 takes fully into account the 3Π ~ 3Σ- interaction and thus leads to results which differ considerably from the effective constants of earlier investigators Dixon, 1959, Murai and Shimauchi, 1966, Bollmark, Kopp, et al., 1970, Malicet, Brion, et al., 1970. The latter are in good agreement with more precise constants obtained recently from the laser-magnetic-resonance spectrum Wayne and Radford, 1976 in v=0 and 1; Be = 16.6668, αe = 0.6470; γ(v=0) = -0.05466, γ(v=l)= -0.0517; 11(v=0,1) = +0.9198. See also Palmiere and Sink, 1976.
26D1 = 16.88E-4, H0 = 10.48E-8; H1 = +10.2E-8 Veseth, 1972.
27Rotation sp. 1
28From the limiting curve of dissociation in c 1Π Graham and Lew, 1978, see 7 and 5. Theoretical calculations by Liu and Verhaegen, 1970, Liu, Legentil, et al., 1972, Stevens, 1973 suggest D00 = 3.43, 3.31, 3.17 eV, respectively; the most recent prediction on theoretical and empirical grounds Meyer and Rosmus, 1975 is D00 = 3.40 eV. From the electron impact appearance potential of N2+ from HN3 Franklin, Dibeler, et al., 1958 follows D00 = 3.59 eV Franklin, Dibeler, et al., 1958; a shock-tube measurement Seal and Gaydon, 1966 gives D00= 3.21 eV. Both results are compatible with limits derived from the study of reactions of rare gas metastables with small NH-containing molecules Stedman, 1970, the upper limit being closer to the semi-empirical calculations of Companion and Ellison, 1960, Jordan and Longuet-Higgins, 1962, the lower limit being in better agreement with the thermochemical measurements of Kaskan and Nadler, 1972.
29Theoretical value Liu and Verhaegen, 1970; Foner and Hudson, 1966 give an electron impact appearance potential of 13.1 eV.
30By the laser-magnetic-resonance method; fine (see 25) and hyperfine structure constants.
