Notes

1Fluctuation bands with various v"; shallow upper potential curve.
2Vertical transition from v" = 0.
3Constants for 115In79Br are given by Lakshminarayana and Harnath, 1970, who propose small changes in the vibrational numbering of the B-X bands observed by Wehrli and Miescher, 1933.
4Calculated from the rotational constants for the 115In79Br isotope Barrett and Mandel, 1958.
5Microwave sp. 8
6From thermochemical data and spectroscopic evidence about the 1Π and 3Π excited states; see Barrow, 1960. in good agreement with 4.02 eV obtained by flame photometry Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961.
7Adiabatic potential from the photoelectron spectrum Berkowitz and Dehmer, 1972; vertical potential 9.41 eV.
8Electric quadrupole coupling constants.
9From D00(InBr) + I.P.(In) - I.P.(InBr).
10The 2Π photoelectron peak is very broad with a maximum at 10.20 eV (2Π1/2?), and a shoulder at ~ 9.8 eV (2Π3/2?). These vertical potentials are close to the dissociation limits In+(1S) + Br(2P1/2, 2Π3/2) at 10.24 and 9.78 eV, respectively, and seem compatible with the predicted instability or near instability of A 2Π.
