Notes

1CI calculation of Yoshimine, 1972; see also Marchetti, Julienne, et al., 1972.
2A0 = -112.0, A1 = -108; from the radio frequency spectrum Freund, Herbst, et al., 1972. The 2Π symmetry of the ground state was originally established by molecular beam electric deflection Berg, Wharton, et al., 1965.
3The fundamental frequencies in krypton White, Seshadri, et al., 1963 and nitrogen Spiker and Andrews, 1973 matrices are 745 and 700 cm-1, respectively.
4IR spectrum 8
5μel(v=0) = 6.84 D. The hfs parameters have been reevaluated by Veseth, 1976.
6Thermochemica1 value [mass-spectrometric Berkowitz, Chupka, et al., 1959, White, Seshadri, et al., 1963, Hildenbrand, 1972; flame photometry Dougherty, Dunn, et al., 1971].
