Notes

1estimated value Mittman and Weise, 1974
2From the absorption spectrum Tanaka, Yoshino, et al., 1973. Various other methods, reviewed in Tanaka, Yoshino, et al., 1973, agree well with the spectroscopic value; see also 8.
3From photoionization studies Ng, Trevor, et al., 1977; see also the earlier work of Huffman and Katayama, 1966, Samson and Cairns, 1966.
4The v' numbering assumes that the lowest observed level has v' = 0 which may, however, not be the case.
5A fairly strong diffuse R shaded band (called "spectral demarcation") at 79923 cm-1 is considered to belong to the same electronic transition Tanaka, Yoshino, et al., 1973.
6The emission is attributed to transitions from the lowest excited states A 3Σu+(1u) and B 1Σu+(0u+) to the repulsive part of the ground state potential; for a detailed discussion of the analogous spectrum of Xe2 see Mulliken, 1970. The "second continuum" was recently observed in emission from high-pressure krypton excited by high-current short-duration electron bursts from a Febetron source Koehler, Ferderber, et al., 1975 and was found to be characterized by three radiative decay constants of 9, 32, 350 ns. Similar excitation Oka, Rao, et al., 1974, produces "long-lived" (τ = 353 ns Oka, Rao, et al., 1974) molecular species which absorb at 10100, 10160, 10250, 10350 cm-1. The 1470 Angstroms emission was also observed from Kr2 in a neon matrix excited by α particles Gedanken, Raz, et al., 1973.
7Vibrational levels observed to v=9.
8From viscosity data, virial coefficients Gough, Smith, et al., 1974 and collision cross sections Buck, Dondi, et al., 1973. More recently, Barker, Watts, et al., 1974 have derived re = 4.007 Angstroms Barker, Watts, et al., 1974 and De = 0.0174 eV Barker, Watts, et al., 1974 from a combination of all available data; see also Nain, Aziz, et al., 1976.
9D00(Kr2) + I.P.(Kr) - I.P.(Kr2). From elastic scattering of Kr+ by Kr Mittman and Weise, 1974 obtain De = 1.21 eV Mittman and Weise, 1974.
