Diffuse absorption bands at 31560, 31018, 30467, 29879, (29442) cm^-1

Vibrational constants from the infrared spectrum of the natural isotopic mixture.

Rotational constants evaluated Hebert, Breivogel, et al., 1964 from the microwave results for ⁶Li⁷⁹Br.

Rot.-vibr. Sp. 10

Dipole moment of ⁶Li⁷⁹Br: μ_el[D] = 7.226₂ + 0.083₂(v+1/2) + 0.0005₇(v+1/2)² Hebert, Breivogel, et al., 1964. For electric quadrupole and other hyperfine coupling constants of the various isotopes see Hebert, Breivogel, et al., 1964, Hebert and Street, 1969, Hilborn, Gallagher, et al., 1972. The Zeeman spectrum was studied by the electric resonance method Cecchi and Ramsey, 1974; g_J(⁷Li⁷⁹Br) = 0.11206 superseding an earlier value by the magnetic resonance method Mehran, Brooks, et al., 1966; also ^79,81Br nuclear magnetic moments.

Thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961, Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961.

Maximum of a very broad photoelectron peak with two additional ill-defined peaks at 10.6 and 11.6 eV, the latter possibly due to the dimer (LiBr)₂ Goodman, Allen, et al., 1974.

For IR spectrum in inert gas matrices see Schlick and Schnepp, 1964.
