Notes

1Line width increases with N. Vibrational numbering uncertain.
2A ~ +0.2 or +6.5.
3By extrapolation from the 1-0,2-0, and 3-0 bands; the 0-0 band was not observed.
4A0= +0.76. The alternative value, A0= +4.48, leads to disagreement between observed and calculated relative line intensities Mathews, 1971.
5Strong perturbations in v=2 Mathews, 1971.
6Radiative lifetime τ(v'=0) = 18.8 ns Hesser and Dressler, 1966, Hesser, 1968; f00(B←x) =0.022 (recalculated for a 2Δ upper state). See also Wentink and Isaacson, 1967.
7J'=3/2 (average of {F1} and F2) relative to J"=1/2 (average of F1 and {F2}). The band centers in Carroll and Grennan, 1970 must all be reduced by 1.4 cm-1 Mathews, 1971 owing to an error resulting from the incorrect application of the vacuum correction.
8Predissociation above v=1, due to a curve crossing with the a 4Σ- state at an internuclear distance smaller than re: see Mathews, 1971, Hall and Richards, 1972.
9(B0 and B1 from Porter, Mann, et al., 1965, B2 from Mathews, 1971).
10D1= 7.10E-6 Porter, Mann, et al., 1965, D2= 9.00E-6 Mathews, 1971.
11Radiative lifetime τ(v'=1) = 19.0 ns Hesser and Dressler, 1966, Hesser, 1968, f00(A←X) ~ 0.0027, fel ~ 0.026 Harrington, Modica, et al., 1966, Hesser, 1968. See also Wentink and Isaacson, 1967.
12N'=0 relative to J"=1/2 (average of F"1 and {F"2}).
13Preliminary results of theoretical calculations Mathews, 1971, Hall and Richards, 1972.
14Av=77.12 - 0.655v + 0.0057v2.
15weze = - 0.0011
16Λ-type doubling; see Porter, Mann, et al., 1965.
17ESR sp. (2Π3/2)u
18Thermochemical value (mass-spectrom.) Hildenbrand, 1975. From the predissociation in A 2Σ+; D00 ≤ 5.74 eV.
19Photoionization Walter, Lifshitz, et al., 1969 and electron impact Hildenbrand, 1975 appearance potential measurements; supported by theoretical calculations O'Hare and Wahl, 1971.
20μel(C-F+)= 0.65 D; polarity predicted by the theoretical work of O'Hare and Wahl, 1971 and Hall and Richards, 1972.
