Complex V shaded band in the region 26975 - 27930 cm^-1. 7

Spin splitting constants Kleman and Uhler, 1959, O'Connor, 1967 γ₀ = 1.20, λ₀= 0.14. Perturbations in both v=0 and v=1 may be caused by a state ⁸Σ state Kleman and Uhler, 1959.

H₀= +0.7E-8; D₁= 2.3₆E-4.

Spin splitting constants γ0 ~ 0.1, λ₀ ~ 0.03 Kleman and Uhler, 1959, O'Connor, 1967.

H₀ = +1.0E-8; D₁ = 3.43E-4.

Described as rather diffuse by Smith, 1973.

The weakness of the emission at low pressures, and the stronger appearance of the corresponding deuteride system suggest predissociation of the upper state through a potential hill O'Connor, 1969.

Spin splitting constants γ₀ = 0.64, λ₀ = 0.28. Several perturbations.

H₀ = +0.1₀E-8.

Spin splitting constants γ₀ = 0.02₃, λ₀ = 0.03.

H₀ = +0.07E-8.
