Notes

1Additional peaks in the electron energy loss spectrum at 6.4, 15.6, 19.2 eV Geiger and Pfeiffer, 1968. Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967 give absorption cross sections from 26000 to 50000 cm-1.
2There is no conclusive evidence yet for the identity of the upper states observed in the absorption and emission spectra.
3Diffuse absorption (fluctuation) bands 23150 - 27550 cm-1; long lower-state progression in chemiluminescence 17500 - 22500 cm-1.
4Calculated from the rotational constants Rusk and Gordy, 1962.
