Notes

1From the photoelectron spectrum Cornford, Frost, et al., 1971, Potts and Price, 1971.
2Several higher vibrational levels have been observed and analyzed Huberman, 1966 but they do not form regular progressions. The vibrational constants quoted in Herzberg, 1945 from Elliott and Cameron, 1937 just as the later values of Haranath and Rao, 1958 must be considered as erroneous Huberman, 1966. The partial rotational analysis of Rao and Rao, 1958 agrees essentially with the more extensive one of Huberman, 1966.
3Lowest observed vibrational level, not necessarily v=0; see 2.
4From D00 (Cl2), I.P.(Cl2), and I.P.(Cl).
