Notes

1Diffuse bands 9
2Spin splitting constant γ = +0.0027.
3Breaking off in emission above v'=1 (predissociation).
4Ω-type doubling Δνfe(v=0) = +0.6185(J+1/2) -10.2E-7(J+1/2)3.
5Determined from head-origin calculations.
6Λ-type doubling Δνfe(v=0)= -0.1388(J+1/2).
7Thermochemica1 value (mass-spectrometry) Zmbov, Hastie, et al., 1968. See also Wieland and Newburgh, 1952 who consider the possibilities D00 = 4.54, 3.57, or 3.22 eV.
8Electron impact appearance potential Zmbov, Hastie, et al., 1968.
9 Wieland and Newburgh, 1952 consider it possible that the observed C state levels (v=1... 5) are actually higher vibrational levels of B 2Σ+ (v=5...9).
