Notes

1Perturbations.
20-0 sequence of V shaded absorption bands. Complex structure.
3B values are for the f levels.
4From Barrow, Gissane, et al., 1964; 34920.7 in Barrow, Bastin, et al., 1967 appears to be a misprint.
5Λ-type doubling Δ vfe = +0.0021J(J+1).
6Complex group of R shaded absorption bands.
7Strong 0-0 sequence of V shaded bands. 13
8For a reassignment of molecular orbital configurations see Scott and Richards, 1974.
9Λ-type doubling Δ vfe(v=0) = +1.115E-3J(J+1) - ...; Δ vfe(v=1) = 0.714E-3J(J+1) - ...; Δ vfe(v=2) = 0.452E-3J(J+1) - ...; Δ vfe(v=3) = 0.315E-3J(J+1) - ...
10Theoretical calculations by Carlson and Moser, 1967 put the a 3Δ state at 461 cm-1 and the corresponding 1Δ state at 2612 cm-1 above X 1Σ+.
11That X 1Σ+ is the ground state is strongly suggested by the fact that only B ← X, C ← X, and E ← X, but none of the triplet systems, were observed in matrix absorption at 4K McLeod and Weltner, 1966.
12Thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry) Zmbov and Margrave, 1967.
13The authors of Barrow, Bastin, et al., 1967 assume the bands to arise from a transition 3Δ ← a 3Δ with nearly equal coupling constants in both states. The upper state, then, has ωe = 724.7 Barrow, Bastin, et al., 1967, ωexe = 3.64 Barrow, Bastin, et al., 1967. The system was also observed in emission by Shenyavskaya, Mal'tsev, et al., 1967 who interpreted it as 3Π → 3Σ with ωe' = 591.0 Shenyavskaya, Mal'tsev, et al., 1967, ωe'xe' = 2.73 Shenyavskaya, Mal'tsev, et al., 1967, ωe" = 514.1 Shenyavskaya, Mal'tsev, et al., 1967, ωe"xe" = 1.98. Neither Barrow, Bastin, et al., 1967 nor Shenyavskaya, Mal'tsev, et al., 1967 give enough details.
