Notes

Extended progression (v"=0) converging to 46715 cm^-1. The vibrational constants given represent this progression up to v'=17 only.

Extrapolated from observed phosphorescence spectra in various solid matrices at low temperature Meyer, Jones, et al., 1971. Lifetime in these matrices Meyer, Smith, et al., 1970.

α_v= -4.4E-8(v+1/2)² - 2.8E-9(v+1/2)³.

From the effective B_e; 2.012043 Å at the minimum of the Born-Oppenheimer potential curve, see Stieda, Tiemann, et al., 1976.

Thermochemical value (mass-spectrom.) Coppens, Smoes, et al., 1967. The convergence limit in E-X, assuming dissociation into ³P + ³P, gives 5.6₆ ± 0.13 eV, the error being due to the uncertainty with regard to the particular triplet components involved.

In low-temperature argon and nitrogen matrices.
