Notes
| 1 | Lowest observed level and ΔG, vibrational numbering unknown. The observed transitions are v-3 at 23327 cm-1, v-4 and (v+1)-4. |
| 2 | One level only. Vibrational numbering uncertain; the authors in Antic-Jovanovic, Pesic, et al., 1968 suggest v=1. Perturbations. |
| 3 | These are values of ΔG(3/2),B1, r1,v(1-0). v=0 not observed. |
| 4 | Spin doubling Δν12(v=0) = +0.1674N(N+1) + ...; Δν12(v=1)= +0.1743N(N+1) + .... |
| 5 | G «rarrw» X1 is considerably weaker than G → X2. Relative branch intensities in both sub-bands are unusual. |
| 6 | N'=0 relative to {J"=0}. |
| 7 | A0 = -6.24, A1 = -31.87. Also J-dependent terms Appelblad and Lagerqvist, 1974, 2. |
| 8 | v=0 perturbed. Λ-type doubling in v=1. For 2Π1/2, Δνfe = (-)[0.3190(J+1/2) - ...]; For 2Π3/2,Δνfe = (-)[2.74E-5(J-1/2)(J+1/2)(J+3/2) - ...]. |
| 9 | J'=1/2 relative to J"= 1/2 (average of {F1} and F2). |
| 10 | v=0 strongly perturbed. |
| 11 | Spin-doubling constants γ0 = -0.1952, γ1 = -0.1908. |
| 12 | A0 = -276.11, A1 = -272.28, A2 = -268.69; also J-dependent terms Appelblad and Lagerqvist, 1974, 2. |
| 13 | Λ-type doubling , Δνfe(2Π1/2) = (-)[0.0148(J+1/2) - ...](average of v=0,1,2). |
| 14 | The absence of an ESR spectrum attributable to matrix isolated CuO is compatible with a 2Π ground state Thompson, Easley, et al., 1973. |
