Notes

1Absorption cross sections Davidovits and Brodhead, 1967. The electron energy loss spectrum Geiger and Pfeiffer, 1968 has peaks at 37000, 52000, 63000 cm-1.
2Diffuse absorption bands, 25000 - 31000 cm-1. 8 The chemiluminescence spectrum (gas - beam, or flame) consists of a long ground-state vibrational progression stretching from 17500 to 31500 cm-1, the onsets and cutoffs depending on the prevailing conditions of the experiment. 8
3From the IR spectrum. The Dunham theory applied to the microwave results gives ωe = 219.17 Rusk and Gordy, 1962, ωexe = 0.758 Rusk and Gordy, 1962.
4Rotation-vibration sp.
5μel[D] = 10.60256 + 0.05045(v+1/2) + 0.00015(v+1/2)2 Van Wachem, De Leeuw, et al., 1967, de Leeuw, van Wachem, et al., 1969; nuclear quadrupole and spin-rotation constants in de Leeuw, van Wachem, et al., 1969, see also Fabricand, Carlson, et al., 1953.
6Thermochemical value Brewer and Brackett, 1961, Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961; from the analysis of the fluctuation bands in the UV absorption spectrum Levi, 1934 and Barrow and Caunt, 1953, estimate 3.96 and 4.10 eV, respectively.
7Adiabatic potential from the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, not corrected for thermal population of the ground state-vibrational levels; vertical potential 8.34 eV.
8See note d of CsBr. From the emission data Kaufmann, Kinsey, et al., 1974, have constructed a tentative upper-state potential energy curve which is, however, dependent on the model potential used for the ground state.
9From D00(KBr) + I.P.(K) - I.P.(KBr); Potts, Williams, et al., 1974 give 0.33 eV.
10From the maxima of the photoelectron spectrum Potts, Williams, et al., 1974, missing citation.
