1ΔG(15/2)= 255.05, ΔG(17/2)= 256.92, ΔG(19/2)= 258.48, ΔG(21/2)= 259.39, ΔG(23/2)= 260.04, ΔG(25/2)= 260.22, ΔG(27/2)= 260.08, ΔG(29/2)= 259.61, ΔG(31/2)= 258.85, ΔG(33/2)= 257.6 (from band origins).
2B7= 1.010, B8= 1.012, B9= 1.012, B10= 1.010, B11= 1.007, B12= 1.003, B13= 0.998, B14= 0.991, B15= 0.984, B16= 0.975, B17= 0.95.
3D7...Dl7 = 0.53E-4...0.44E-4.
4Theoretica1 value as modified by Meyer and Rosmus, 1975; the computational results are De0 = 1.92 Meyer and Rosmus, 1975 and 1.88 eV Sachs, Hinze, et al., 1975. Extrapolation of the ground state vibrational levels suggests 2.1 eV.
5Theoretical predictions of Sachs, Hinze, et al., 1975 who feel, however, that the true potential of this state is considerably deeper than the calculated potential curve.
6Anomalous potential curve [an RKR curve has been constructed by Jain and Sah, 1963]; ΔG(3/2)= 329.9, ΔG(5/2)= 337.2, ΔG(7/2)= 343.7, ΔG(9/2)= 349.6, ΔG(11/2)= 353.9, ΔG(13/2)= 357.4, ΔG(15/2)= 359.2, ΔG(17/2)= 360.3, ΔG(19/2)= 360.1, ΔG(21/2)= 359.5, ΔG(23/2)= 357.7, ΔG(25/2)= 354.3, ΔG(27/2)= 352.3, ΔG(29/2)= 348.4, ΔG(31/2)= 343.9, ΔG(33/2)= 340.0,ΔG(35/2)= 333.7, ΔG(37/2)= 330.0, ΔG(39/2)= 323.7 [from band origins Pankhurst, 1949].
7B1= 1.823, B2= 1.875, B3= 1.908, B4= 1.930, B5= 1.938, B6= 1.941, B7= 1.936 Pankhurst, 1949.
8He ~ +5.7E-8 Pankhurst, 1949; both Dv and Hv decrease with increasing v.
9Radiative lifetimes τ(v'=3;J'=8) = 24.0 ns, τ(4;11) = 28.3 ns; τ(5;16) = 27.1 ns Baltayan, Jourdan, et al., 1976; τ(8;3) = 22.7 ns Dagdigian, 1976.
10weze = -0.005 Pankhurst, 1949.
11Rotational constants from Olsson, 1935, βe = -0.03E-4. Pankhurst, 1949 gives Be = 4.886, αe = 0.129, De ~ 3.15E-4, He ~ +1.7E-8 but includes only levels with v" ≥ 3.
