2Lifetime τ(v=0) = 0.23 μs [Hanle effect measurement Moeller, McKeever, et al., 1975].
3Relative transition probabilities from the fluorescence spectrum, Franck-Condon factors Moeller and Silvers, 1973; see also Smith, 1968.

6μel[D] = 2.7514 - 0.0086(v+1/2) Wyse, Manson, et al., 1972, as corrected by Wyse, Manson, et al., 1972 for improved Bv values; (eqQ)N[kHz]= -5172.8 + 60.7(v+1/2) Raymonda and Klemperer, 1971 give also magnetic hf coupling constants.
7Latest thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry) Gingerich, 1969. Previous thermochemical value 7.57 eV Uy, Kohl, et al., 1968. The origin of the discrepancy is not clear. From ab initio calculations a value of 6.43 eV is obtained; see Gingerich, 1969.
8From the photoelectron spectrum Wu and Fehlner, 1975.
9From D00(PN), I.P.(PN) and I.P.(P).
