Notes
| 1 | Absorption cross sections Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967. The electron energy loss spectrum Geiger and Pfeiffer, 1968 has peaks at 37000, 52000, 63000 cm-1. |
| 2 | Diffuse absorption bands, 25000 - 31000 cm-1. 8 The chemiluminescence spectrum (gas - beam, or flame) consists of a long ground-state vibrational progression stretching from 17500 to 31500 cm-1, the onsets and cutoffs depending on the prevailing conditions of the experiment. 8 |
| 3 | From the IR spectrum. The Dunham theory applied to the microwave results gives ωe = 219.17 Rusk and Gordy, 1962, ωexe = 0.758 Rusk and Gordy, 1962. |
| 4 | Rotation-vibration sp. |
| 5 | μel[D] = 10.60256 + 0.05045(v+1/2) + 0.00015(v+1/2)2 Van Wachem, De Leeuw, et al., 1967, de Leeuw, van Wachem, et al., 1969; nuclear quadrupole and spin-rotation constants in de Leeuw, van Wachem, et al., 1969, see also Fabricand, Carlson, et al., 1953. |
| 6 | Thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961, Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961; from the analysis of the fluctuation bands in the UV absorption spectrum Levi, 1934 and Barrow and Caunt, 1953, estimate 3.96 and 4.10 eV, respectively. |
| 7 | Adiabatic potential from the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, not corrected for thermal population of the ground state-vibrational levels; vertical potential 8.34 eV. |
| 8 | See note d of CsBr. From the emission data Kaufmann, Kinsey, et al., 1974, have constructed a tentative upper-state potential energy curve which is, however, dependent on the model potential used for the ground state. |
| 9 | From D00(KBr) + I.P.(K) - I.P.(KBr); Potts, Williams, et al., 1974 give 0.33 eV. |
| 10 | From the maxima of the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, missing citation. |
