Notes

1No clear identification of the various isotopic band heads was possible.
2The assignment of the emission band heads by Parker, 1935, is not correct.
3From Morgan and Barrow, 1961. Somewhat different results in Patel and Patel, 1968.
4Thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry); average of three reactions Hildenbrand, 1970, Farber and Srivastava, 1976.
