Absorption continua with maxima at 46900, 39300, 36300 cm-1 Muller, 1927, Barrow and Caunt, 1953, Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967, followed by diffuse absorption (fluctuation) bands 1 in the region 34200 - 27900 cm-1 Muller, 1927, Sommermeyer, 1929, Barrow and Caunt, 1953. The chemiluminescence spectrum 1 Oldenborg, Gole, et al., 1974 consists of a long ground-state vibrational progression which extends from 28000 to 17000 cm-1.

Notes

1The absorption and the emission bands arise from transitions between a shallow homopolar upper state (from normal atomic products) and the low- and high-lying vibrational levels, respectively, of the ionic ground state.
2Derived from the rotational constants Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. See also Rice and Klemperer, 1957.
3αv= +1.02E-7(v+1/2)2 + 3.2E-10(v+1/2)3 Honerjager and Tischer, 1974.
4also higher order constants Honerjager and Tischer, 1974.

6From the threshold for dissociative photoionization, Berkowitz, 1969, in good agreement with the thermochemical value of Brewer and Brackett, 1961; see also Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961, Scheer and Fine, 1962. The value quoted here corresponds to dissociation into normal atoms; see, however, Berry, Cernoch, et al., 1968 who demonstrated that under some conditions (shock waves) the primary dissociation products are ions (Cs+ + Br-) rather than normal atoms in violation of the non-crossing rule.
7Photoionization mass-spectrometry Berkowitz, 1969. Average values (photoelectron spectroscopy) for the vertical first and second ionization potentials: 8.12 and 8.51 eV Berkowitz, Dehmer, et al., 1973, Potts, Williams, et al., 1974.
8Associated with excitation of an electron from the metal 5p shell.
9μel = 10.82 D (molecular beam electric deflection) Story and Hebert, 1976; eqQ(79Br)= -[6.79-0.73(v+1/2)] MHz Hoeft, Tiemann, et al., 1972; gJ(v=0)= (-)0.0099 μN Honerjager and Tischer, 1973.
10From I.P.(CsBr) and the threshold energy for dissociative ionization (Cs+ from CsBr), see Berkowitz, 1969. Potts, Williams, et al., 1974 give 0.24 eV.
11From the photoelectron spectrum Berkowitz, Dehmer, et al., 1973, Potts, Williams, et al., 1974. The two observed broad peaks (see 7 ) correspond to removal of an electron from the halogen 4p shell.
