Notes

1According to theoretical work Walker and Kelly, 1972 they represent the nf series.
23d complex consisting of 2Σ, 2Π, 2Δ.
3Spin splitting constant γ0= +0.62. Heterogeneous predissociation.
4The band origins refer to the zero points of the Hill-Van Vleck formulae for the ground and excited (Λ ≠ 0) states. See also Garstang, 1963.
5Homogeneous predissociation.
6A= -28.5.
7ωeze = -3.957; from CD using isotope relations.
8Spin splitting constant γ ~ +0.05 Herzberg and Johns, 1969, Botterud, Lofthus, et al., 1973. Predissociation, see 12.
9Slightly different sets of constants from the same data are given by Botterud, Lofthus, et al., 1973 for X, A, B, C and Krupp, 1974 for X, A. Precise values for the rotational energy levels of X 2Π(v=0) in Douglas and Elliott, 1965; tables of term values for levels of X, A, B,C in Botterud, Lofthus, et al., 1973.
10αv= +0.0258(v+1/2)2 - 0.023(v+1/2)3; see 7 .
11D1 = 16.7E-4, D2 = 20E-4.
12Lifetime of C 2Σ+ anomalously small on account of predissociation Hesser and Lutz, 1968, Herzberg and Johns, 1969, Hesser and Lutz, 1970, Elander and Smith, 1973. According to Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976 the lifetime in v=0 varies from 10 ns at N=1 to 25 ns at N=24 and is even shorter in v=1. The previous observation of different lifetimes for F1 and F2 levels is not confirmed. The lifetime for CD is more than twice that for CH Hesser and Lutz, 1970 indicating that predissociation is weaker Herzberg and Johns, 1969. Ab initio theory Hinze, Lie, et al., 1975 gives a radiative lifetime τ(v=0) = 89 ns Hinze, Lie, et al., 1975 suggesting that the radiationless and the radiative transition probabilities are approximately in the ratio 8 to 1 Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976. From absorption experiments Linevsky, 1967 an f value of f= 0.006 Linevsky, 1967 was derived for the C-X transition.
13Wavenumber and wavelength tables and comparisons with the solar spectrum published by Moore and Broida, 1959. 13CH lines for A-X measured by Richter and Tonner, 1967 and used to determine 13C/12C ratio in the sun. Franck-Condon factors Halmann and Laulicht, 1966, Liszt and Smith, 1972. The laboratory absorption spectrum was first observed by Norrish, Porter, et al., 1953 in the acetylene combustion initiated by the flash photolysis of NO2; in flames by Gaydon, Spokes, et al., 1960; and more recently by Bleekrode and Nieuwpoort, 1965, Bleekrode, 1966, Herzberg and Johns, 1969.
14Very shallow potential curve; ωe ~ 2251, ωexe ~ 230 (from CD). A small potential maximum has been established in this state Herzberg and Johns, 1969; confirmed by theoretical calculations Lie, Hinze, et al., 1972.
15Spin splitting constant γ0= -0.0285 Gero, 1941, γ1 = -0.020 Herzberg and Johns, 1969. Breaking off in emission above v'=0, N'=15 and v'=1, N'=6 and broadening in absorption at higher N' due to predissociation; see also 18. Selective excitation of v'=1 in hydrogen flames and suppression of breaking off Durie, 1952.
16B1= 11.160.
17D1= 32.8E-4.
18Radiative lifetime τ= 0.38 μs Fink and Welge, 1967, Linevsky, 1967, Hesser and Lutz, 1970 corresponding to f~0.0029 Fink and Welge, 1967, Linevsky, 1967, Hesser and Lutz, 1970. Brooks and Smith, 1974 and Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976 have measured lifetimes of individual rotational lines finding a regular increase from 0.32 to 0.38 μs from N'=2 to 14 (v'=0); sudden drop to 0.12 μs for N'=15 due to predissociation: see, however, Anderson, Peacher, et al., 1975. In v'= 1 the lifetime is 0.40 μs until breaking off occurs between N'= 6 and 7.
19A= -1.02 Herzberg and Johns, 1969, see also Kiess and Broida, 1956, Botterud, Lofthus, et al., 1973.
20Stark effect, μel(v=0) = 0.89 D Scarl and Dalby, 1974.
21Lifetime τ(v=0) = 0.534 μs Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976 corresponding to f=0.0053 Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976: superseding earlier less precise values by Bennett and Dalby, 1960, Fink and Welge, 1967, Hesser and Lutz, 1970, Smith, 1971, Jorgensen and Sorensen, 1975. Kuz'menko, Kuzyakov, et al., 1972 from shock tube absorption measurements obtain fe = 0.0019 Kuz'menko, Kuzyakov, et al., 1972. A theoretical f00 = 0.0068 Hinze, Lie, et al., 1975 is given in Hinze, Lie, et al., 1975. The observation of a reduced lifetime in v=1 for N>11 Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976 suggests a weak predissociation probably caused by X 2Π.
22T0, from laser photoelectron spectrometry of CH- Kasdan, Herbst, et al., 1975. Theoretical calculations Lie, Hinze, et al., 1972 give 5395 cm-1. The vibrational and rotational constants given are theoretical values; see also Liu and Verhaegen, 1970.
23A = +27.95. Slightly higher values in Goss, 1966 and Botterud, Lofthus, et al., 1973.
24Λ-type doubling, Δv ~ 0.038N(N+1) - .... For the lowest J values more complicated formulae apply, see Douglas and Elliott, 1965 and Goss, 1966. The transition between the two Λ components of J=1/2 has been observed with its hyperfine structure in emission in interstellar clouds Rydbeck, Ellder, et al., 1973. The derived J=1/2 Λ-doublet separation is 3320.987 MHz, close to earlier predictions by Douglas and Elliott, 1965, Baird and Bredohl, 1971 and a subsequent theoretical calculation by Hammersley and Richards, 1974. Predicted Λ- doubling and hyperfine splittings for other J values in Levy and Hinze, 1975.
25Stark effect, μel = 1.46 D Phelps and Dalby, 1966.
26Λ doubling sp. 24
27From the predissociation in the B state Herzberg and Johns, 1969 as modified by Brooks and Smith, 1974 and Brzozowski, Bunker, et al., 1976. Confirmed thermochemically by Brewer and Kester, 1964.
