Notes

Predissociated near J = 30.

Λ-type doubling, Δν_ef ~ +0.00005J(J+1).

Predissociation in v=1 at J ~60; v=2 observed in absorption only.

Very weak band.

The vibrational analysis of Liu and Jones, 1972 assigns v=0 to the lowest level observed in emission. However, the 1-0 and 0-0 bands may have been observed in absorption Chatalic, Danon, et al., 1971 at 49001 and 48192 cm^-1 [47192 in Chatalic, Danon, et al., 1971 seems to be a misprint] as members of a strong upper state progression which begins at 47381 cm^-1 and may even include a diffuse band at 46570 cm^-1. No details.

Very complicated rotational structure.

Λ-type doubling, Δν_ef ~ +0.000015J(J+1).

Fragments of a system

Small Λ-type doubling.

B_e and r_e from the f component;Δν_ef = + 0.0035J(J+1).

For a more detailed discussion of the X ³Σ^- (0⁺,1) fine structure see Veseth, 1973.

Effective value.

Theoretical calculations, for D₀⁰ supported by limited experimental data; see O'Hare, Batana, et al., 1973. The same paper gives theoretical values for the electron affinity (1.1 eV) and dipole moment (1.75 D) of AsF.

Long 0-0 sequence of V shaded Q heads; R, P branches undegraded.
