Notes

1Headless diffuse bands.
2Constants for 202Hg81Br.
3From Patel and Darji, 1968, Greig, Gunning, et al., 1970. Earlier analyses of C-X by Sastry, 1941, Sastry, 1941, 2 and Krishnamurthy, 1958 as well as the suggested existence of an additional system in the region 36100 - 37000 cm-1 Krishnamurthy, 1958, Patel and Darji, 1968 are not convincing.
