Notes

1Fragments only.
2Both high and low rotational levels are predissociated; the e and f levels were only observed for 43.5≤J≤71.5 and 57.5≤J≤81.5, respectively, in this region, the Ω-type doubling [recalculated from Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967] is well represented by Δνfe=(+)[0.306-11.09E-6(J+1/2)2](J+1/2).
3Unresolved magnetic hyperfine structure; see Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967, Atkins, 1967.
4Vibrational numbering uncertain. The single band reported by Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967 agrees in position with the 1-0 band of a weak system observed by Bridge and Howell, 1954 at about 1480 cm-1 above the B-X bands.
5Very small Ω-type doubling.
6The lines have half-widths of ~ 0.25cm-1 (independent of J), owing to the unresolved magnetic hyperfine splitting of the ground state levels.
7Large Ω-type doubling, Δνfe(v,J) = pv(J+1/2) - ... where pv ~ +4Bv Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967. The sign of the splitting cannot be determined from the spectrum but is chosen here to give agreement with theoretical predictions [see Kopp and Hougen, 1967] for a 4Σ1/2- state. This requires the parities of most rotational levels in figure 4 of Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967 to be reversed and leads to negative values of Δνfe in the ground state of BiO, contrary to results for other group V oxides.
8Dv increases from D2 =32.3E-8 to D5 =80.3E-8. [See Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967.]
9Δνfe(v=2,...,9) ~(+)0.025(J+1/2) - ...; for more details see Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1967.
10Δνfe(v=0) = (-)0.187(J+1/2).
11Thermochemical value (mass-spectrom.) Uy and Drowart, 1969.
