Notes
1 | Derived from the rotational constants Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. See also Barrow and Caunt, 1953, Rice and Klemperer, 1957. |
2 | αv= +4.89E-8(v+1/2)2 + 1.14E-10(v+1/2)3 Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. |
3 | Also higher order constants Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. |
4 | Microwave sp. 7 |
5 | Average of a thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961 and a value obtained from photodissociative ionization of CsI Berkowitz, 1969. See also Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961, Scheer and Fine, 1962. |
6 | From photoionization mass-spectrometry Berkowitz, 1969. The adiabatic ionization potential from photoelectron spectroscopy Berkowitz, Dehmer, et al., 1973, Potts, Williams, et al., 1974 is 7.10 eV; the first and second vertical potentials are 7.54 and 8.46 eV (average values). |
7 | μel = 11.69D Story and Hebert, 1976 (molecular beam electric deflection) Story and Hebert, 1976; eqQ(127I) = -[14.28 + 2.10(v+1/2)] MHz, |eqQ(133Cs)| ≤ 1 MHz Hoeft, Tiemann, et al., 1972; |gJ| < 0.0036 μN Honerjager and Tischer, 1973. |
8 | From the photoionization data of Berkowitz, 1969. Using 7.10 instead of 7.25 eV for I.P.(CsI) (see 6) would increase this value to 0.36 eV. |
