Notes

1Incompletely resolved bands.
2A0 = 10.3, A1 = 6.1; moderate J dependence. For a more detailed theoretical discussion of this 2Δ state see Veseth, 1971.
3Estimated from isotope shifts Klynning and Lindgren, 1966.
4Spin-doubling constants γ = 0.473 (v=0) and γ= 0.362 (v=1). Broadening of absorption lines due to predissociation above 27000 cm-1.
5D1 = 8.01E-4; also higher order constants.
6Spin-splitting constants 13= 6.52, γ1 = 0.037, γ2 = 0.048. Note that the definitions of 13, γ1 and γ2 used in Klynning, 1966 are those of Hougen Hougen, 1962 and differ from those used by Martin and Merer [see ref. Klynning and Lindgren, 1966 of GeF). The B0 value in the abstract of Klynning, 1966 and quoted in DONNSPEC is clearly wrong.
7A0 = 892.52 Klynning and Lindgren, 1966, A1 = 896.12 Klynning and Lindgren, 1966; small J dependence. See also Veseth, 1973.
8Λ-type doubling, Δv(2Π1/2) = 0.496(J+1/2)-...; v=0
9D1 = 3.40E-4.
10From the predissociation in A 2Δ Klynning and Lindgren, 1966; thermochemical data give the same value Barrow and Deutsch, 1960.
11From the value for GeH.
12A0 = 14.4, A1 = 9.9, A2 = 7.2; moderate J dependence.
13Spin-doubling constants γ= 0.300 (v=0), γ= 0.281 (v=1), γ= 0.22 (v=2). Predissociation, see 4 .
14D1 = 1.65E-4, D2 = 1.7E-4; also higher order constants.
15A0 = 891.86 Klynning and Lindgren, 1966, A1 = 894.35 Klynning and Lindgren, 1966; small J dependence. See also Veseth, 1973.
16Λ-type doubling; in Δv(2Π1/2) = 0.2506(J+1/2) - ...; v=0
17D1 = 0.824E-4.
