Notes

1X-ray absorption (3sσ ← 1sN).
2X-ray absorption and emission (1πg ↔ 1sN), broad peak. 119
3Absorption cross sections 140000-500000 cm-1 Lee, Carlson, et al., 1973, Watson, Lang, et al., 1973.
4From high-energy electron impact spectroscopy.
5First two members of Codling's Rydberg series. 120
6Longward of the apparent emission "lines" are close-lying fairly sharp absorption "lines" Ogawa and Tanaka, 1962. Both features belong to the same Fano shape produced by the interaction of the series of Rydberg levels with the continuum joining on to the A 2Π (or, less likely, X 2Σ) limit.
7Similar series with v'=1.
8The first three members at 138330, 144090, 146690 cm-1 are very broad (presumably because of preionization), the higher members are sharper and shaded to the red. No rotational structure has been resolved. Preionization also observed by electron spectroscopy Hicks, Comer, et al., 1973, Wilden, Hicks, et al., 1976.
9Oscillator strengths from absorption coefficients: f(m=3,4,..) = 0.0131, 0.0053, ... Cook and Ogawa, 1970.
10Similar series for v'=l [observed to n=45 (2Π1/2) and n*=40.2 (2Π3/2)] and for v'=2...7 Yoshino, Ogawa, et al., 1976.
11Corresponding series in 15N2 Ogawa, 1964.
12Preionization observed in photoionization studies Cook and Ogawa, 1965, Comes and Weber, 1969, Carter and Berkowitz, 1973.
13Preionization in absorption series having v'=1...4 was observed in active nitrogen using the photoionization technique Cook and McNeal, 1972.
14These designations should not be confused with the older designations of component states of b 1Πu and b' 1Σu+.

27Only v=0 [perturbed by c'6(v=1)] is sharp: bands with v'= 1,2,3 are diffuse owing to predissociation or preionization (levels with v > 2 are above the first ionization potential).
28ΔG(3/2) = 2119.7, see 29.
29Strong homogeneous perturbations with the higher vibrational levels (v ≥ 18) of b' 1Σu+ Carroll and Yoshino, 1972. The B0 value is an effective value at low J: Beff(v=1) = 1.285, Beff(v=2)= 1.173. In addition, there are heterogeneous interactions with the close- lying levels of c4 1Πu. For deperturbed constants see Leoni and Dressler, 1972, Leoni, 1972.
30Constants for Π- Ledbetter, 1972; B0(Π+) = 1.906. αe from Carroll and Yoshino, 1972.
31[A progression of six bands (v"=1-6) arises from c4(v'=0) → a, Herman-Montagne, 1945 ]
32Reevaluated from the origin of the 0-2 band. Lofthus, 1957 gives 43667.0 which was undoubtedly calculated with the constants of the a rather than of the w state.
33Strong homogeneous interaction between k 1Πg and y 1Πg. The constants given are the deperturbed values from Carroll and Subbaram, 1975 and refer to Π-, the only component observed in k 1Πg.
34Predissociation of the Π+ component above J=10 of v=0. Λ-type doubling and predissociation discussed in Mulliken, 1976.
35Not deperturbed.
36From the deperturbed T00 = 113723.58.
370nly v'=0,1,2 observed. Predissociation (weakening of emission) at v'=2, J"≈l5 corresponding to the limit 2D+2D Lofthus, 1960; actual breaking off occurs at J'=25. See also Mulliken, 1976.
38Only v'=0 observed

44From a more detailed theoretical treatment Veseth, 1973 derives v00 = 17902.400 Veseth, 1973.
45Deperturbed constants Leoni and Dressler, 1972, Leoni, 1972; ωeye= +0.7874. Strong perturbations produced by interaction with b' 1Σu+; before these perturbations were recognized Dressler, 1969, Lefebvre-Brion, 1969 the vibrational levels were attributed to independent states called p', r', k, s', h, h', h", h'". The observed vibrational intervals (from band origins) and rotational constants for v = 0,1,2,3... are: ΔG(v+1/2) = 2046.2, 2175.5, 2112.2, 2111.7 ...; Bv = 1.929, 1.711, 1.436, 1.594 ...

60The lines of absorption bands with v'= 0,2,3,4 are broadened on account of predissociation (especially v'=3); corresponding emission bands have not been observed. The state causing the predissociation is probably C' 3Πu Carroll and Collins, 1969; see, however, Leoni and Dressler, 1971 who find that an additional diffuse level, very likely the still missing O3 3Πu(v=0) level at ~103000 cm-1, is required to explain the broadening of v'= 3.
