Constants for the following states are for S2- ions dissolved in KI crystals, from spectra studied at 2K Ikezawa and Rolfe, 1973 Vella and Rolfe, 1974; see also Sawicki and Fitchen, 1976. Host crystals other than KI lead to somewhat different values.

Notes

1The splitting is due to the crystal field, not spin-orbit coupling which in the 2Πg state amounts to approximately -420 cm-1 Vannotti and Morton, 1967, Vella and Rolfe, 1974.
2The Raman spectrum of ions pumped into this state by laser irradiation consists of a sharp line shifted by 362 cm-1 Holzer, Racine, et al., 1973.
3Raman sp.
4 Holzer, Murphy, et al., 1969 predict a gas phase frequency ~550 cm-1.
5EPR sp.
6From D00(S2) and the electron affinities of S2 and S.
7From laser photodetachment experiments Celotta, Bennett, et al., 1974.
