1v=0 perturbed.
2Perturbation at N=19, predissociation at N > 25.
3 Grimaldi, Lecourt, et al., 1966 estimate a ~12000 cm-1. A= +40.2.
4Constants for the f component. Large Λ-type doubling. Δvfe positive; J. W. C. Johns (see Lagerqvist, Lundh, et al., 1970) reports a new 1Σ+ state just above E 1Π. Predissociation for J>12 Holst, 1934, Lagerqvist, Lundh, et al., 1970.
5Perturbed at J=5, predissociated for J>10.
6From Δ G(1/2) of the hydride and deuteride.
7Perturbations.

9Predissociation by rotation in v=0, 1 (AlH) and v=0, 1, 2 (AlD); this state has a potential maximum Herzberg and Mundie, 1940 of ~ 0.15 eV Hurley, 1961.

13From the predissociation in A 1Π Olsson, 1938, Herzberg and Mundie, 1940. The most recent theoretical calculations for AlH Meyer and Rosmus, 1975 recommend 3.05 eV.
14D1 = 10E-4.
