Notes

13d complex consisting of 2Σ, 2Π, 2Δ.
2Heterogeneous predissociation.
3The band origins refer to the zero points of the Hill-Van Vleck formulae for the ground and excited (Λ ≠ 0) states. See also missing citation.
4A= -27.7.
5Spin-splitting constant γ0= +0.06 Herzberg and Johns, 1969.
6ωeze = -1.15; these two constants are derived under the assumption that ΔG of X 2Π is linear in v+1/2.
7Lifetime and predissociation see Hesser and Lutz, 1968, Herzberg and Johns, 1969, Hesser and Lutz, 1970. For B 2Σ-, v=0, breaking off occurs above N'=24, for v=1 above N'=16. For C 2Σ+ the predissociation is much weaker for CD than for CH; see note n of CH.
8αv= +0.0075(v+1/2)2 - 0.005(v+1/2)3.
9D1(E-4 cm-1)= 4.9, D2(E-4 cm-1)= 5.2, D3(E-4 cm-1)= 6.3, D4(E-4 cm-1)= 9.
10Franck-Condon factors Halmann and Laulicht, 1966, Liszt and Smith, 1972.
11The B state is too shallow for these constants to have much physical meaning.
12D1 = 7.2E-4, D2 = 13.9E-4.
13D1 = 4.7E-4.
14A = +27.95.
15Λ-type doubling, Δν ~ 0.009N(N+1) for higher N values. The splitting for J= 1/2 is predicted Hammersley and Richards, 1974 to be 1241 MHz.
16missing note
17From the predissociation in B 2Σ- of CD. The revised value of D00(CH) would imply D00C(CD) = 3.512 eV.
18From I.P. (CH).
