Notes

1Additional peaks in the electron energy loss spectrum at 7.8, 15.5, 19.0, 23.0 eV Geiger and Pfeiffer, 1968. Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967 give absorption cross sections from 34000 to 50000 cm-1.
2There is no conclusive evidence yet for the identity of the upper states observed in the absorption and emission spectra.
3Diffuse absorption bands (fluctuation b.) 30000 - 38300 cm-1; long lower state vibrational progression in chemiluminescence from 18000 to 26000 cm-1.
4From the IR spectrum Rice and Klemperer, 1957. From the rotational constants Clouser and Gordy, 1964 calculate ωe = 233.34, ωexe = 0.856.

10Onset of a broad unresolved photoelectron peak with maximum at 8.74 eV Goodman, Allen, et al., 1974, Potts, Williams, et al., 1974.
11From D00(RbCl) and the ionization potentials of Rb and RbCl.
12From maxima of the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, missing citation; the halogen 3p spectrum is unresolved. The complexity of the metal 4p photoelectron spectrum is tentatively attributed to configuration interaction in RbBr. See ref 12 of RbBr.
