Notes

1Short progression of resonances in electron transmission. 15
2Energy relative to X 3Σg-(v=0) of neutral O2.
3Long progression of resonances in electron transmission. 16
4Extrapo1ated energy of v=0 relative to X 3Σg-(v=0) of neutral O2.
5Absorption in KBr, vibrational numbering uncertain Ikezawa and Rolfe, 1973.
6Observed in alkali halide crystals at 4.2 and 2 K.
7Estimated v00 for the free O2- ion, by extrapolation from data for various host crystals Holzer, Murphy, et al., 1968.
8A = -160 cm-1 103.
9From electron scattering cross sections for gaseous O2 Boness and Schulz, 1970, Linder and Schmidt, 1971; similar measurements by Gray, Haselton, et al., 1972 suggest ωe = 1140 Gray, Haselton, et al., 1972, ωexe = 12 Gray, Haselton, et al., 1972. A direct measurement of ΔG"(1/2) in the photodetachment spectrum Celotta, Bennett, et al., 1972 gives ΔG"(1/2) ~ 1090 cm-1 Celotta, Bennett, et al., 1972, in agreement with extrapolations from Raman frequencies in alkali halide crystals Holzer, Murphy, et al., 1968. Anharmonicities derived from low-temperature fluorescence spectra (see 6) are approximately 8.7 Ikezawa and Rolfe, 1973.
10From a Franck-Condon factor analysis of the photodetachment spectrum Celotta, Bennett, et al., 1972 and a similar evaluation by Parlant and Fiquet-Fayard, 1976 of the electron scattering data of Linder and Schmidt, 1971.
11Raman sp. 17
12In alkali halide crystals.
13From D00(O2) and the electron affinities of O(1.462 eV) and O2.
14From the O2- photodetachment spectrum Celotta, Bennett, et al., 1972; see also Pack and Phelps, 1966. From endothermic negative-ion charge-transfer reactions Tiernan, Hughes, et al., 1971 obtain I.P. ≥ 0.45 ± 0.1 eV. The theoretical value is 0.42eV Zemke, Das, et al., 1972.
15"Band b". Suggested "grandparent" state b 4Σg- of O2+.
16"Band a". The negative ion state results from the addition of two Rydberg electrons in the 3sσg orbital to the O2+ core in the a 4Πu state ("grandparent").
17In alkali ha1ide crystals and in solid KO2 and NaO2.
