Notes

1Constants obtained by Johnson, Cannell, et al., 1972 from a reclassification of bands in the blue-green and in the red system. The new analysis of the ground state seems to be confirmed by the observation of a lower state frequency of 111 cm-1 in laser-excited matrix emission spectra [see Teichman and Nixon, 1976 who attribute the 111 cm-1 interval to a matrix-induced splitting of the ground state]. The revised lower state constants imply, however, a strong contradiction to the usual rule that if ω' > ω" then B' > B" since according to the published spectrograms of Weniger, 1967 the B-X bands are strongly shaded to the red, i.e. B' < B".
2Previously called A-X. Also observed in inert gas matrices Brewer and Chang, 1972, Teichman and Nixon, 1976.
3Previously believed to have B as its lower state.
4 Johnson, Cannell, et al., 1972 give 119.1 which seems to be a typographical or arithmetical error since it does not represent the band head measurements of Shawhan, 1935.
5Thermochemical value (mass-spectrom.) Gingerich, Cocke, et al., 1976.
