Notes

1Absorption cross sections Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967.
2Diffuse absorption bands at 31560, 31018, 30467, 29879, (29442) cm-1
3Vibrational constants from the infrared spectrum of the natural isotopic mixture.
4Rotational constants evaluated Hebert, Breivogel, et al., 1964 from the microwave results for 6Li79Br.
5Rot.-vibr. Sp. 10
6Dipole moment of 6Li79Br: μel[D] = 7.2262 + 0.0832(v+1/2) + 0.00057(v+1/2)2 Hebert, Breivogel, et al., 1964. For electric quadrupole and other hyperfine coupling constants of the various isotopes see Hebert, Breivogel, et al., 1964, Hebert and Street, 1969, Hilborn, Gallagher, et al., 1972. The Zeeman spectrum was studied by the electric resonance method Cecchi and Ramsey, 1974; gJ(7Li79Br) = 0.11206 superseding an earlier value by the magnetic resonance method Mehran, Brooks, et al., 1966; also 79,81Br nuclear magnetic moments.
7Li nuclear reorientation spectrum Kusch, 1949, Logan, Cote, et al., 1952, Kusch, 1959.
8Thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961, Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961.
9Maximum of a very broad photoelectron peak with two additional ill-defined peaks at 10.6 and 11.6 eV, the latter possibly due to the dimer (LiBr)2 Goodman, Allen, et al., 1974.
10For IR spectrum in inert gas matrices see Schlick and Schnepp, 1964.
