Notes

A₀ = +28.

ΔG"(1/2) - ΔG'(1/2) = +93.7 (F₁) and ΔG"(1/2) - ΔG'(1/2)= +82.8 (F₂).

From the "true" B₀ = 0.4912.

Both v=0 and v=l of A₁ are predissociated.

Undegraded diffuse band.

A₀= +466.

From the "true" B₀ = 0.4872.

From the predissociation in A₁ ²Δ_3/2(v=0). Study of flame reactions Miller and Palmer, 1964 suggests 2.8₆ eV.
