| 1 | Interpretation analogous to CsBr (see 1 ) |
| 2 | Calculated from the rotational constants Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. Good agreement with the less precise values from the infrared spectrum Rice and Klemperer, 1957. |
| 3 | αv= +3.42E-7(v+1/2)2 + 1.8E-9(v+1/2)3 Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. |
| 4 | also higher order constants Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. |
| 5 | IR sp. |
| 6 | eqQ(35Cl) = +[l.830 - 0.118(v+1/2)] MHz, |eqQ(133Cs)| ≤ 1.1 MHz Hoeft, Tiemann, et al., 1972. gJ = -[0.02815 - 0.00031(v+1/2)] μN Honerjager and Tischer, 1973; see, however, Mehran, Brooks, et al., 1966 who give gJ = (-)0.0212 Mehran, Brooks, et al., 1966. |
