Notes
| 1 | First members of two Rydberg series converging to the Li is ionization limit of LiF at 65.5 eV (528300 cm-1); vibrational numbering not established. |
| 2 | From the infrared spectrum [constants corresponding to the J numbering "Morig - 2" in table III of Vidale, 1960]. In good agreement with constants calculated from the microwave results: we = 910.25, wexe = 8.10. |
| 3 | +0.0001558(v+1/2)2 - 3.5E-7(v+1/2)3. |
| 4 | Rotation-vibr. Sp. 8 |
| 5 | Dipole moment of 7LiF: μel[D] = 6.2839 + 0.08153(v+1/2) + 0.000445(v+1/2)2,v = 0,1,2 Hebert and Hollowell, 1976; see also Wharton, Klemperer, et al., 1963, Hebert, Lovas, et al., 1968, Mariella, Herschbach, et al., 1973. For electric quadrupole and other hyperfine coupling constants see Cupp, Smith, et al., 1973, Hebert and Hollowell, 1976. Earlier electric resonance work in Swartz and Trischka, 1952, Braunstein and Trischka, 1955, Kastner, Russell, et al., 1955, Moran and Trischka, 1961 and Russell, 1958 who found gJ(7LiF)= +0.0642 μN from the Zeeman splitting of the hyperfine structure; see also 6. |
| 6 | gJ(7LiF) = (+)0.0737 μN by the magnetic resonance method Mehran, Brooks, et al., 1966; see also Russell, 1958. Li NMR spectrum Kusch, 1949, Kusch, 1959. |

The lifetime of the lowest vibrationally excited level of 6LiF. τ(v=1) = 14.3 ms, was determined by Bedding and Moran, 1974 using the molecular beam electric resonance method. |
