Notes
1 | A0 = -26.90, A1 = -25.67, A2 = -25.40, A3 = -24.97; recalculated from Carroll, 1956 with an improved A0 for A 2Πi. |
2 | Refers to the zero point of the Hill-Van Vleck formula for Λ ≠ 0 states. |
3 | A0 = (+)49.57. |
4 | Vibrational numbering unknown; only the v'>1 band at 32702.60 cm-1 was identified. See also Schaefer and Heil, 1971. |
5 | |A| smaller than in the D state. |
6 | A0 = -3.03. |
7 | Vibrational numbering uncertain. |
8 | Predicted by ab initio calculations Heil and Schaefer, 1971, Schaefer and Heil, 1971. This state is probably responsible for the small perturbation in v=11, N = 20 of B 2Σ+ Coxon, Ramsay, et al., 1975; see also Coxon, Setser, et al., 1973. |
9 | From Douglas and Routly, 1955; much improved ΔG(v+1/2), Bv, Dv values for v≤7 in Engleman, 1974, but no equilibrium constants given. Spin-rotation interaction constant γ0= +0.01565 [from the magnetic resonance spectrum Cook and Levy, 1973], for higher v see Engleman, 1974. Perturbations by A 2Π (in v=0 at N=4, 7, 11, 15; see 16), and by a 4Σ(+) (see 8). From Stark effect of the P(1) and R(0) lines in the B-X, 0-0 band Thomson and Dalby, 1968 determine for the B state μel (-CN+) = 1.15 D. |
10 | The ΔG and Bv curves are strongly non-linear. |
11 | [For a comprehensive review of molecular data on the B-X system including a bibliography of references prior to 1972 see Brocklehurst, Hebert, et al., 1971]. |
12 | Radiative lifetime τ(v=0)= 65.6 ns for the unperturbed levels and 72 ns for the perturbed N=4 level [tunable laser excitation Jackson, 1974]. Phase shift measurements give 59 ns for v=0-2, in good agreement with the direct decay measurements, 60.8 ns, of Luk and Bersohn, 1973. From the zero-electric-field-limit linewidth of the anticrossing spectrum Cook and Levy, 1972 derive 39 ns. The electronic f value for the B-X system at 3860 , f = 0.033, is primarily based on shock tube emission and absorption measurements; for a review see Arnold and Nicholls, 1973. |
13 | For 0-0, 0-1, 0-2 bands of 13C14N see Jenkins and Wooldridge, 1938. |
14 | Spin-splitting constant γ0 = +0.00725, from the microwave spectrum Penzias, Wilson, et al., 1974 Turner and Gammon, 1975; see also Poletto and Rigutti, 1965, Engleman, 1974. μel(+CN-) = 1.45 D from Stark effect in the B-X, 0-0 band Thomson and Dalby, 1968. |
15 | Av = -52.64 + 0.0365v + 0.0086v2, v≤12 Poletto and Rigutti, 1965. |
16 | The vibrational and rotational constants given here are those of Poletto and Rigutti, 1965 based on the measurements of Davis and Phillips, 1963; see also Douglas and Routly, 1955. More elaborate evaluations, primarily intended to assist in the identification of CN lines in the solar spectrum, have been published by Swensson, Benedict, et al., 1970 and Fay, Marenin, et al., 1971; note, however, that the constants tabulated in Swensson, Benedict, et al., 1970 are not the usual Dunham coefficients. An extension of the system to bands with v'≤ 25 LeBlanc, 1968, 2 requires the use of slightly different vibrational constants. Λ-type doubling, for details see Jenkins, Roots, et al., 1932, Poletto and Rigutti, 1965. The rotational perturbations by B 2Σ+ in v=10 have been the subject of many experimental and theoretical investigations Radford and Broida, 1962, Batt and Benson, 1962; microwave-optical double resonance missing citation Evenson, Dunn, et al., 1964 Radford, 1964 Evenson, 1968 Evenson, 1969 Pratt and Broida, 1969 Meakin and Harris, 1972, level anticrossing spectroscopy Levy, 1972 Cook and Levy, 1972 Cook and Levy, 1973, 2, magnetic resonance Cook and Levy, 1973. Hyperfine structure constants in Meakin and Harris, 1972, μel(+CN-) = 0.56 D Cook and Levy, 1973, 2, Π ~ Σ interaction parameters Cook and Levy, 1973. |
17 | Radiative lifetime τ = 0.68 μs (average for 1≤v≤9), corresponding to f00 = 0.0034 Jeunehomme, 1965, in good agreement with Treffers, 1975. A shock tube emission study Arnold and Nicholls, 1972 gives fel = 0.0045 at 10970 . See also Gippius, Kudryavtsev, et al., 1967 Jain, 1975. A considerably shorter lifetime for v=10, τ = 0.14 μs; v=10, was derived by Cook and Levy, 1972 from the anticrossing and microwave linewidths. Calculated relative absorption coefficients at three different temperatures in Phillips and Leung, 1973. |
18 | Rotational analyses of the 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1 bands of 13C14N in Wyller, 1966 Hosinsky and Lindgren, 1976. |
19 | [For a useful compilation of molecular data on the A-X system and a bibliography of references prior to 1971 see Brocklehurst, Hebert, et al., 1971.] |
20 | Vibrational constants from Douglas and Routly, 1955, slightly different constants in Poletto and Rigutti, 1965. |
21 | Rotational constants from Engleman, 1974 who gives γe = -0.0003107 which appears to be a misprint; see also Douglas and Routly, 1955, Poletto and Rigutti, 1965. |
22 | Poletto and Rigutti, 1965, Engleman, 1974. |
23 | IR fundamental b. |
24 | In emission from interstellar sources; eqQ and other hyperfine structure constants. |
25 | in rare gas matrices at 4K. |
26 | Based on ΔHof0(CN) = 103.2 ± 2.5 kcal/mole recommended in missing citation. It represents an average value obtained from mass-spectrometric Berkowitz, 1962 and shock tube studies Knight and Rink, 1961, Tsang, Bauer, et al., 1962, Levitt and Parsons, 1969, Arnold and Nicholls, 1973 and from the photo-ionization Dibeler and Liston, 1967, Dibeler and Liston, 1968, Berkowitz, Chupka, et al., 1969 and photo-dissociation Davis and Okabe, 1968 of CN containing molecules and their decomposition in collisions with Ar metastable atoms Setser and Stedman, 1968. The most recent quantitative absorption measurements by Engleman and Rouse, 1975 together with lifetime measurements in the B-X system (see 12) tend to support the slightly higher value ΔHof0 = 105.5 ± 2 kcal/mole, of Berkowitz, Chupka, et al., 1969, giving D00 = 7.66 eV. Gaydon Gaydon, 1968 recommends 7.75 eV. |
27 | Indirectly from a combination of photo-ionization Dibeler and Liston, 1967, Dibeler and Liston, 1968 and photo-dissociation Davis and Okabe, 1968 threshold energies for HCN and ClCN; in good agreement with an electron impact appearance potential of 14.2 eV Berkowitz, 1962. Similar photoionization data for HCN Berkowitz, Chupka, et al., 1969 suggest, however, 14.03 eV. Theory predicts 14.10 eV Moffat, 1975. |
28 | A0 = +28.77, A1 = +27.86, A2 = +27.06. |
