Notes
1 | The assignments to two Rydberg series by Gole and Margrave, 1972 are questioned by Colbourn, Dagenais, et al., 1976. |
2 | BQ; BPR = 1.034. |
3 | B2 = 0.9916. |
4 | ΔG(3/2)=754.06, ΔG(5/2)=553.78, ΔG(7/2)=733.01; strongly perturbed, not certain whether one or two electronic states are involved. |
5 | B1= 0.8129, B2= 0.8980, B3= 0.8946, B4= 0.891; see 4. |
6 | Dv(v=1...4, E-6 cm-1) = 4.0, 14.0, -2.6, -50.0 |
7 | v" uncertain, see 16. |
8 | Four of the strongest absorption bands; in emission only bands with v=0 and 1 and very weakly v=2. |
9 | From Q branches, BQ - BPR ~ +0.004. v' = 0,1,2,3 analyzed, a weak and highly perturbed band at 911 (109770 cm-1) may be 4-0. |
10 | Estimated from the 0-0 and 2-0 (v0= 107069.4) bands. |
11 | From Q branches; BQ - BPR = +0.005. v=0 strongly perturbed. |
12 | Infrared from strong perturbation of the higher vibrational levels of C 1Σu+. |
13 | (Deperturbed) constants determined from the lowest observed levels; vibrational numbering unknown. Only those levels which interact strongly with C 1Σu+ have been found in absorption. It is possible that D and E are not two independent states. |
14 | From I →f Porter, 1968; vibrational numbering unknown. The assignments of Stricker and Krauss, 1968 suggest the existence of additional levels at 1058 below and 1044 cm-1 above the single level reported by Porter, 1968. |
15 | Constants for the lowest observed level, vibrational numbering unknown (v=n). In absorption levels up to v = n+30 have been observed. Numerous perturbations by levels of D and E (interaction matrix elements ~ 10 cm-1); a much stronger interaction with G affects levels having v «gte» n+25. For details see Table 5 of Colbourn, Dagenais, et al., 1976. |
16 | Vibrational numbering uncertain. Extensive perturbations. Strong predissociation leading to line broadening in I→F bands having v" = 1,2,4,5,6,8; bands with v"= 3,7 are sharp. |
17 | Continuous absorption with maximum at 35000 cm-1. |
18 | The existence of the a ←X absorption becomes clear only after subtraction of the much stronger effect of the A←X absorption from the observed absorption intensities Rees, 1957. It is generally assumed that the 3Π0+u state has a minimum but no discrete absorption or emission has been observed, see Nathans, 1950. Child and Bernstein, 1973 predict a dissociation energy De= 3300 cm-1 and re= 1.9 for this state. |
19 | Continuous absorption with maximum at 25500 cm-1. |
20 | These constants represent only the lowest nine levels (i.e. v≤8) Colbourn, Dagenais, et al., 1976. Levels have been observed up to v=22; this last level lies only 90 cm-1 below the extrapolated limit. |
21 | +0.0001179(v+1/2)2 - 0.0000203(v+1/2)3, representing B0....B12. |
22 | Raman sp. |
23 | Rotational gyromagnetic ratio gJ = -0.1208 μN (nuclear) spin-rotation and spin- spin interaction constants c = -157.3 kHz, d = 8.0 kHz. |
24 | From the observed vibrational levels of the ground state Colbourn, Dagenais, et al., 1976; the highest observed level (presumably the last stable level) is at 12830.38 cm-1. Shock tube experiments of Blauer and Solomon, 1972 give the same value within ±0.05 eV; see also the earlier work of Barrow and Caunt, 1953, Stamper and Barrow, 1958, DeCorpo, Steiger, et al., 1970. |
25 | From photoionization Berkowitz, Chupka, et al., 1971. Photoelectron spectra Cornford, Frost, et al., 1971 give 15.70 eV. |
26 | The lower state vibrational numbering of this band is unknown, see 14. |
