Notes

1The v00 values refer to the zero-point of the Hill-Van Vleck expression for the lower state and are exclusive of the J independent terms -BΛ2 in the upper states, contrary to definitions normally adopted in these tables. Only the X 2Π3/2 subbands have been observed.
2Weak diffuse band near 1561 ; sharper in SD.
3From isotope shifts.
4Spin-splitting constant γ0 = +0.313.
5The rotational lines of bands having v'≥1 are increasingly diffuse.
6Observed in absorption (flash photolysis of H2S and D2S) by Ramsay, 1952, Johns and Ramsay, 1961, in matrix absorption by Acquista and Schoen, 1970, and in emission by Leach, 1950, Pathak and Palmer, 1969. Franck-Condon factors Nicholls, Fraser, et al., 1960.
7A0 = -376.96 Ramsay, 1952. On the basis of certain higher order corrections Veseth, 1971 gives A0 = -378.53 Veseth, 1971 (and B0 = 9.465, D0 = 4.7E-4).
8From the constants for SD Pathak and Palmer, 1969.
9Λ-doubling and hfs parameters Meerts and Dymanus, 1975.
10Vibration sp. 16
11Hf Λ-doubling sp. 17 18
12EPR sp. 19
13From an extrapolation of the vibrational levels of A 2Σ+ to the limit 1D + 2S Johns and Ramsay, 1961; consistent with the observed predissociation in A 2Σ+. Photoionization mass-spectrometry of H2S Dibeler and Liston, 1968 gives D00C(S1H) = 3.67 eV (recalculated using updated auxilliary data). See also Meyer and Rosmus, 1975.
14Both D00 and I.P. refer to the lowest existing molecular level, in agreement with definitions but contrary to the values given by Johns and Ramsay, 1961 and Morrow, 1966, respectively, which refer to the zero-point of the Hill-Van Vleck expression for the ground state.
15Extrapolation of a short Rydberg series Morrow, 1966.
16In argon matrices at 20.4 K.
17Molecular beam electric resonance study. The strongest Λ-doubling transitions in 2Π3/2, J=3/2 occur at 111.4862 (F=1-1) and 111.5452 MHz (F=2-2), in J=5/2 at 442.4781(F=2-2) and 442.6277 MHz (F=3-3); these observations supersede earlier predictions Radford and Linzer, 1963, Brown and Thistlethwaite, 1972, Tanimoto and Uehara, 1973 from EPR measurements.
18μel(v=0) = 0.7580 D Meerts and Dymanus, 1974, Meerts and Dymanus, 1975. Stark effect in EPR spectrum Carrington, Levy, et al., 1967, Byfleet, Carrington, et al., 1971 yields the less accurate value 0.62 D. Predicted dipole moment function Meyer and Rosmus, 1975. Theoretical charge distributions Cade, Bader, et al., 1969.
19For the EPR spectrum of 33SH and 33S hf interaction see Miller, 1971.
20Large electronic isotope shift.
21Spin splitting constant γ0 = +0.163. The lines of the 2-0 absorption band are diffuse.
22A0 = -376.75 Ramsay, 1952. Taking into account higher order corrections Veseth, 1971 derives A0 = -378.32 Veseth, 1971 (and B0 = 4.899, D0 = 1.3E-4).
23Estimates by Ramsay, 1952 and Pathak and Palmer, 1969.
24μel(v=0) = 0.7571 D Meerts and Dymanus, 1975.
