Notes

1The G, H, I 2Σ+ Rydberg states (as well as higher levels of A 2Σ+) interact with the F 2Σ+ non-Rydberg state. Most of the observed bands are strongly perturbed. The constants in the Table are deperturbed values taken from Ngo, da Paz, et al., 1974 who give results for P16O and P18O; similar constants have earlier been reported by Verma, Dixit, et al., 1971. In addition to the strong homogeneous interactions a large number of local perturbations have been described for both isotopes Verma, Dixit, et al., 1971, Guha, Jois, et al., 1972, Ngo, da Paz, et al., 1974.
2The v00 values have been calculated from deperturbed constants and should not be expected to coincide precisely with observed transitions.
3Rotational perturbations in v=0,1,2 Guha, Jois, et al., 1972.
4Perturbations by C' 2Δ.
5A0 = +26.2, A1 = +22.8. All constants given for D 2Π (v=0,1) are deperturbed values from Ghosh, Nagaraj, et al., 1976; see also Coquart, da Paz, et al., 1974. This state interacts strongly with high vibrational levels of B' 2Π. For v=2 and 3 only fragments have been observed in absorption Ghosh, Nagaraj, et al., 1976 making the deperturbation results for these levels even less reliable.
6The highest level observed in emission from the interacting pair D(v=0) ~ B'(v=24?) is the N=34 level [predominantly D(v=0)] lying at 49647 cm-1 above X 2Π1/2(v=0,J=1/2); see Couet, Coquart, et al., 1968. Higher levels are predissociated and give rise to diffuse lines in the absorption spectrum. A summary of predissociation phenomena observed in B' and D levels is given by Ghosh, Nagaraj, et al., 1976 who suggest that the predissociation is caused by the repulsive part of the 4Π state arising from 4S + 3P.
7missing note
8 Prudhomme and Coquart, 1974 suggest that an additional term, weye ~ 0.040, is needed in order to account for higher vibrational levels (v=l4...18) found in perturbations of E 2Δ(v=0,1,2).
9Small spin doubling, γ ~ 0.0085 Prudhomme, Larzilliere, et al., 1973; local perturbations.
10Average of values obtained by Rao, 1958, Verma and Jois, 1973, Coquart, da Paz, et al., 1975. Above v=3 the influence of the F 2Σ+ state becomes noticeable.
11Spin splitting constant γ ~ +0.0013 Verma and Jois, 1973. Many rotational perturbations Coquart and Prudhomme, 1972, Verma and Jois, 1973, Coquart, da Paz, et al., 1975.
12Potentia1 curves Singh and Rai, 1965.
13Franck-Condon factors Sankaranarayanan, 1966.
14Av increases from -13.3 for v=0 to about +30 for v=23...26 Verma, 1970, Coquart, da Paz, et al., 1974, Ghosh, Nagaraj, et al., 1976; theoretical explanation Roche and Lefebvre-Brion, 1973.
15These are the constants of Verma and Jois, 1973 based on the rotational analysis of v=0 and 1 Verma, 1970 and on the identification of several intermediate levels (v=6 and 12...22) in perturbations with B 2Σ+ Verma and Singhal, 1975 and A 2Σ+ Verma and Jois, 1973. Higher vibrational levels (v=23...26, formerly D' 2Π) are observed in the region of strong interaction with the Rydberg D 2Π state Coquart, da Paz, et al., 1974, Ghosh, Nagaraj, et al., 1976. The vibrational numbering chosen by Verma, 1970 and used in this Table is arbitrary and may have to be increased by 2 as suggested by Cornet, Dubois, et al., 1977 whose re-analysis of the B'-X system includes a large number of absorption bands previously attributed to OPCl Verma and Nagaraj, 1975 as well as a number of emission bands left unassigned by Verma and Broida, 1970 and Verma and Singhal, 1975.
16The B'→B bands originate from highly excited levels with v' ~ 24 which are strongly mixed with low vibrational levels of D 2Π.
17Constants derived from perturbations in B 2Σ+ and A 2Σ+ Verma and Singhal, 1975, corrected for the new vibrational numbering of Coquart, da Paz, et al., 1975.
18Spin splitting constant γ = -0.0068. Extensive rotational perturbations in v=6,7 by levels of B' 2Π and b 4Σ-; see Verma and Singhal, 1975. The v=7 level appears to be preferentially populated in the P4 + O glow Verma and Broida, 1970.
19Av = 224.03 + 0.18v - 0.013v2 (v≤11) Verma and Singhal, 1975; see also Zaidi and Verma, 1975. Similar results in Prudhomme, Larzilliere, et al., 1973.
20Λ-type doubling Δvef(2Π1/2) = -0.0070(J+1/2).
21Thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry) Drowart, Myers, et al., 1972. The predissociation in the perturbed D(v=0) level (see 6) gives the upper limit D00 ≤ 6.161 eV.
22Theoretical value Ackermann, Lefebvre-Brion, et al., 1972. Drowart, Myers, et al., 1972 report an electron impact appearance potential of 8.5 eV.
23Vibrational numbering confirmed by P16O - P18O isotope shifts Prudhomme, Larzilliere, et al., 1973.
24Papers by Singh, 1959, Mohanty, Upadhya, et al., 1967, Mohanty, Rai, et al., 1969 contain erroneous branch identifications; see Verma and Dixit, 1968, Rai, Rai, et al., 1972.
