Notes
| 1 | Theoretical results, average of two calculations O'Hare and Wahl, 1972, So and Richards, 1975. The relative term values of the two states are in qualitative agreement with deductions made from a magnetic deflection analysis of the reactive scattering of Na+NO2, see Herm and Herschbach, 1970. |
| 2 | Thermochemical value [mass-spectrometry Hildenbrand and Murad, 1970, calorimetry O'Hare, 1972). |
| 3 | From a merging-beam study of the reaction CO+(Na,C)NaO+ Rol, Entemann, et al., 1974. See also O'Hare and Wahl, 1972. |
