Notes
| 1 | Electronic wavefunctions and energies are given by Bates, Ledsham, et al., 1953 where references to earlier literature may be found. |
| 2 | Data for these two states are entirely theoretical [adiabatic approximation Bishop, Shih, et al., 1975; see also Kroll, 1970]. ν00(C-B) refers to N=1 of C 2Πu and N=0 of B 2Σg+; see Table VI of Bishop, Shih, et al., 1975. Beckel (lecture at Columbus l976) gives +8803.90. |
| 3 | Repulsive state. 10 |
| 4 | From Rydberg series limits of H2 Herzberg and Jungen, 1972; ΔG(1/2) = 2191.2. Similar constants (and De = 0.018) were obtained Cunningham and Dieke, 1950 by extrapolation from low members of the series np3Π (n=2-5). Higher vibrational levels and their Bv values have been derived from photoelectron spectra Siegbahn, Nordling, et al., 1967, Asbrink, 1970. See also 11. |
| 5 | For two recent ab initio calculations of the potential functions. Peek, 1965, Hunter, Yau, et al., 1974; relativistic corrections Luke, Hunter, et al., 1969, Lamb shift corrections Gersten, 1969, Jeziorski and Kolos, 1969, non-adiabatic corrections Bishop, 1974. Rotational and vibrational levels up to v=18 from ab initio calculations in Wind, 1965, Hunter and Pritchard, 1967, Beckel, Hansen, et al., 1970, Hunter, Yau, et al., 1974, include quasi-bound levels. |
| 6 | Franck-Condon factors for photoionization of H2 Halmann and Laulicht, 1965, Dunn, 1966, Nicholls, 1968. Effect of r-dependence of the transition moment Itikawa, 1973. Experimental cross sections Spohr and Puttkamer, 1967, Berkowitz and Spohr, 1973. |
| 7 | The most recent theoretical value Schaad and Hicks, 1970 is re= 1.0569 Å Schaad and Hicks, 1970. |
| 8 | Spin reorientation sp. 11 |
| 9 | Experimental value derived from D00(H2) and I.P.(H2) Herzberg and Jungen, 1972.The latest theoretical value [non-adiabatic calculation Bishop, 1974, and including relativistic and Lamb shift corrections] is 2.65073 eV; see also Hunter and Pritchard, 1967, Jeziorski and Kolos, 1969. |
| 10 | Observed in the photodissociation of H2+ Richardson, Jefferts, et al., 1968, Jefferts, 1969 and in the photoelectron spectrum of H2 Samson, 1972; the direct transition from the X 1Σg+ ground state causes a shoulder in the absorption spectrum of H2 near 380 Å. Of recent ab initio calculations of the potential function the most detailed seems to be that of Peek, 1965. This state has a small van der Waals minimum (D0 = 3.4 cm-1) at 6.64 Å Peek, 1969. |
| 11 | Observed for N=1 and N=2 of v=4...8. For v=4, N=2 the spin splitting is σs= 0.0027059 cm-1; for odd N the hyperfine structure due to the proton spins is superposed which gives a much larger splitting. The strongest of the observed five transitions for v=4, N=1 occurs at 0.0423810 cm-1; the extrapolated wavenumber for v=0,N=l is 0.046842. |
