Notes

1Normal isotopic mixture. The vibrational numbering in neither A nor X1 is quite certain. In order to fit the absorption and the emission bands into the same vibrational scheme it was assumed Durie and Ramsay, 1958 that the longest-wavelength absorption band was 1-0 and that the v" numbering of the emission bands Coleman and Gaydon, 1947 had to be raised by four units.
2All A ← X1 bands are diffuse on account of predissociation, though a few bands show evidence of rotational fine structure.
3A0= -815 from EPR sp. Carrington, Dyer, et al., 1970; estimate A0 = -980 Brown, Byfleet, et al., 1972.
4Effective constants.
5From the "true" Be = 0.4299 Amano, Yoshinaga, et al., 1972.
6Microwave sp. 8
7From the near-convergence of the absorption bands A ←X1 assuming dissociation of A into Cl(2P3/2) + O(1D2); see Durie and Ramsay, 1958.
8μel(v=0)= 1.765 D Amano, Yoshinaga, et al., 1972; 1.61 D Carrington, Levy, et al., 1967, Byfleet, Carrington, et al., 1971 from Stark effect in the gas-phase EPR sp. Carrington, Levy, et al., 1967, Byfleet, Carrington, et al., 1971. For eqQ(79,81Br) and magnetic hyperfine parameters for both isotopes see Powell and Johnson, 1969, Carrington, Dyer, et al., 1970, Amano, Yoshinaga, et al., 1972, Brown, Byfleet, et al., 1972.
