Notes

1Low temperature matrix absorption; not observed in the gas phase.
2From Harrington, Seel, et al., 1970. Slightly different constants in Richards, 1969.
3Spin splitting constants Hougen, 1962 Richards, 1969 : λ(v=0)= +0.53 , γ1(v=0) = -0.009 , γ2(v=0) = -0.007 .
4Perturbations.
5Radiative lifetime τ(v=0,1) = 0.41 μs Diebold and Wentink, 1970.
6Absolute transition moments, band oscillator strengths Harrington, Seel, et al., 1970. This reference contains a useful review and bibliography of earlier work.
7The existence of a new system between 13900 and 14500 cm-1, tentatively identified by Grosjean and Rosen [see Gatterer, Junkes, et al., 1957], is doubtful since the 2-0 and 0-3 sequences of B-X and C-X, respectively, are expected to overlap in this region.
8[For a more rigorous treatment of the fine structure see Veseth, 1975.]
9It is not certain whether these bands form a new system or are part of B-X.
10The ESR spectrum of matrix isolated VO Kasai, 1968 is compatible only with a 4Σ- ground state, confirming theoretical predictions by Carlson and Moser, 1966.
11Spin splitting constants Hougen, 1962 Richards, 1969: λ(v=0)= +1.371 , γ1(v=0) = +0.0112 , γ2(v=0) = +0.0111 . Large nuclear magnetic hfs, b = 0.080 cm-1 Kasai, 1968, Richards and Barrow, 1968, 2. An unusual perturbation occurs in v=0,1 between F2 and F3 levels with ΔN = ΔF = 0 Richards and Barrow, 1968, 2.
12ESR sp. 15
13Thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry) Berkowitz and Inghram, 1957, Coppens, Smoes, et al., 1967, Frantseva and Semenov, 1969, Farber, Uy, et al., 1972.
14Subband origin at 12706.8 cm-1.
15In argon matrix.
