Notes
1 | Measurements of Mahajan, Lakshminarayana, et al., 1976; assignments of higher members of the two progressions appear uncertain. |
2 | The two states E and F are believed to be members of two Rydberg series, one converging to X 2Π1/2 of S2+ (C,E,...), the other to X 2Π3/2 (F...). The apparent doublet structure of the bands is tentatively attributed to (ΩOc, w) coupling Donovan, Husain, et al., 1970. |
3 | Only v=0 observed. |
4 | The lower state(s) of the three systems could be either a or b; see Barrow and du Parcq, 1965, Barrow and Du Parcq, 1968. Bands originating from the j level have double heads, all others single heads. No absorption corresponding to these transitions has been reported, although strong absorption from a 1Δg (g←a, f←a) has been seen in the flash photolysis of S2Cl2 Donovan, Husain, et al., 1968, Donovan, Husain, et al., 1970 and COS Carleer and Colin, 1970. Tanaka and Ogawa, 1962 use c and c' instead of h and i, respectively. |
5 | Called d →x by Tanaka and Ogawa, 1962. Observed in absorption in the flash photolysis of S2Cl2 Donovan, Husain, et al., 1970. |
6 | v=0 only; system e-X of Tanaka and Ogawa, 1962. |
7 | Spin splitting constants λ0 = -11.61, γ0 = +0.033. |
8 | missing note |
9 | Breaking-off in emission above v'= 10 Asundi, 1965, Narasimham and Gopal, 1965. In absorption Carleer and Colin, 1970 bands with v'=11 and 12 have been observed, the rotational lines being only very slightly broadened. Predissociation probably into 3Δu from 3P + 1D. |
10 | First observed by Rosen and Desirant, 1935, Haranath, 1963. Vibrational numbering established by isotope investigations Narasimham and Brody, 1964, Narasimham and Bhagvat, 1965. |
11 | The last observed levels in emission are J'=33 and 15 in 3Π2 and 3Π1, respectively; higher levels, and presumably all levels of the unobserved 3Π0 component, are predissociated. |
12 | Fragments of two V shaded emission bands at v0 = 13451.9 and 13985.5 cm-1 have been observed by Meakin and Barrow, 1962 and assigned Barrow and du Parcq, 1965 to a 1Πg → 1Σu- transition later called e →c Barrow and Du Parcq, 1968. The first band (B' ~ 0.244, B"~ 0.229, predissociated except for low J) is undoubtedly the 0-0 band of the B' 3Πgl → A 3Σu+(0u-) transition, the second presumably the corresponding 1-0 band since the ΔG(1/2) value agrees fairly well with we ~ 500 as estimated from isotope shift studies Narasimham and Apparao, 1966. However, no emission from levels having v'> 0 was reported by other investigators. |
13 | Origins of the 3Π2g → 3Σu+(1u) and 3Π1g → 3Σu+(0u-) transitions. |
14 | Vibrational constants from Olsson, 1938, rotational constants from Ikenoue, 1960. Barrow and du Parcq, 1965 give B0 = 0.2235, αe = 0.0018, (i.e. Be = 0.2244) without mentioning whether this is based on a revised analysis. This state is heavily perturbed by a 3Πu state Barrow and du Parcq, 1965; as a result none of the constants are very meaningful. |
15 | Spin splitting constant λ ~ -4.7 for v=0,2,4 (v=6,7 are also inverted) but +9.5 for v=1,3,5 Meyer and Crosley, 1973; see 14. Barrow and du Parcq, 1965 give γ=0.05 for v=0,1,4. |
16 | Breaking-off in emission (at low pressures) above J=61 in v = 8, and J=36 in v=9 (F1 component) Ricks and Barrow, 1969, 2. J=58 in v = 8, and J=37 in v=9 (F2 component) Ricks and Barrow, 1969, 2. J=59 in v = 8, and J=35 in v=9 (F3 component) Ricks and Barrow, 1969, 2. These together with similar breaking-off points in 34S2 and 32S34S yield a predissociation limit at 35636.3 cm-1 above X 3Σg- (v=0,J=0) of 32S2. Bands with v'≥10 are absent in emission [except at high pressure Asundi, 1931, Asundi, 1934, Sugden and Demerdache, 1962] and broadened in absorption. Above v'=18 there is strongly increased diffuseness indicating a second predissociation Herzberg and Mundie, 1940. Pressure effects on the intensity distribution of the absorption bands Kondratjew and Olsson, 1936, Herman and Felenbok, 1963. |
17 | Lifetime τ(v=0...3) = 17 ns Smith, 1969 [phase shift method Smith, 1969]; τ(v=3,4) = 19.5 ns Meyer and Crosley, 1973, 2 [Hanle effect Meyer and Crosley, 1973, 2]. The most recent measurements [single-photon time correlation McGee and Weston, 1977] give τ = 45.0 ns McGee and Weston, 1977. |
18 | Secondary heads on the short-wavelength side of the bands are formed by the forbidden T(R31) branches [ Meakin and Barrow, 1962, see also Tatum and Watson, 1971]. Experimental Franck-Condon factors (v"=0...25) from resonance fluorescence series with v'=3,4 Meyer and Crosley, 1973, 3, see also Yee, Barrow, et al., 1972. Theoretical Franck-Condon factors Herman and Felenbok, 1963, Smith and Liszt, 1971 [see, however, 14] 32S2/34S2 isotope shifts Chaudhry, Upadhya, et al., 1970. Absorption in inert gas matrices at low temperature Brewer, Brabson, et al., 1965. |
19 | The observed position of v'=0 relative to X 3Σg-(v"=0) is at 31659 cm-1; strong vibrational perturbation. |
20 | Λ = -39.0 (and γ = +0.008) derived fron the observed F1(N) - F2(N) splittings Narasimham, Apparao, et al., 1976. |
21 | B+(F2) - B-(F1) = +0.0021. |
22 | z ~ 22000 cm-1, very rough estimate based on the fact that the upper state of B'→ A' is predissociated and, therefore, cannot lie below the dissociation limit 3P+ 3P. A similar value is obtained by extrapolation of the vibrational levels in A' and X to their common limit 3P + 3P. |
23 | Assuming that b is the lower state of the three singlet systems originating from h, i, j. |
24 | Carleer and Colin, 1970 estimate x ~ 4700 cm-1. |
25 | Refers to the F2 component. |
26 | Spin splitting constants λv= +11.82+0.05(v+1/2) + 0.0024(v+1/2)2, γv= - 0.00659-0.000126(v+1/2), v≤27, from Barrow and Yee, 1974 who give also data for 34S2; see also Barrow and Ketteringham, 1963, Barrow and du Parcq, 1965, Wayne, Davies, et al., 1974. From the pure rotational Raman spectrum Freedman and Jones, 1975 obtain B0 = 0.29443. |

29 | From the predissociation limit in B 3Σu- assuming dissociation at this limit into 3P2 + 3P1 Ricks and Barrow, 1969, 2. The value given here (35240.2 cm-1) is relative to the lowest existing level in X 3Σg-(v=0), i.e. J=0, in accordance with the definition of D00 but at variance with the value given by Ricks and Barrow, 1969, 2 which refers to a hypothetical level (N=0) of the F2 component at 23.1 cm-1 above J=0. D00=4.38 eV by photoionization mass-spectrometry Berkowitz and Chupka, 1969, D00= 4.41 eV from thermal measurements Budininkas, Edwards, et al., 1968. See also Drowart and Goldfinger, 1966. |
30 | By photoionization mass-spectrometry Berkowitz and Lifshitz, 1968, Berkowitz and Chupka, 1969. |
31 | This number, given or implied by Barrow and du Parcq, 1965, Barrow, duParcq, et al., 1969 refers presumably to the F2 levels in both upper and lower state. |
32 | Raman spectra in solid matrices Barletta, Claassen, et al., 1971, Hopkins and Brown, 1975 yield ΔG = 717 Barletta, Claassen, et al., 1971, Hopkins and Brown, 1975. |
