Notes
| 1 | Also observed in the electron energy loss spectrum Geiger and Pfeiffer, 1968, additional peaks at 7.4, 16.3, 19.8 eV. Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967 give absorption cross sections from 30300 to 50000 cm-1. |
| 2 | There is no conclusive evidence yet for the identity of the upper states observed in the absorption and emission spectra. |
| 3 | Diffuse absorption (fluctuation) bands 26600 - 32100 cm-1; the chemiluminescence spectrum consists of a long lower-state vibrational progression 19000 - 25000 cm-1. |
| 4 | Calculated from the rotational constants Rusk and Gordy, 1962. |
| 5 | missing note |
| 6 | Microwave sp. 9 |
| 7 | Thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961; 3.98 eV by flame photometry Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961. |
| 8 | Onset of the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, vertical transition at 8.17 eV. |
| 9 | eqQ(85Rb) = -47.20 + 0.28(v+1/2) MHz Tiemann, Holzer, et al., 1977; eqQ(79Br) = +3.08 + 0.75(v+1/2) MHz Tiemann, Holzer, et al., 1977 μel = 10.86 D [molecular beam electric deflection Story and Hebert, 1976]. |
| 10 | From D00(RbBr), I.P.(Rb), and I.P.(RbBr). |
| 11 | From the maxima of the photoelectron peaks Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, missing citation; see also Goodman, Allen, et al., 1974. |
| 12 | The complexity of the metal 4p photoelectron spectrum is tentatively attributed to configuration interaction missing citation. |
