Spectroscopic Data, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1976 Volume 2 Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules

During the preparation of this compilation, many people contributed; the compilers wish to thank all of them. In particular they appreciate the efforts of V. Gilbertson, the manuscript typist, and those of K. C. Bregand, J. A. Kiley, and W. H. McPherson, who gave editorial assistance. They would like to thank Dr. J. R. Schwartz for his cooperation and encouragement. In addition, they extend their grati­ tude to Dr. L. Wilson of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory, who gave the initial impetus to this project. v Contents I.

INTRODUCTION In recent years, the need for a complete collection of information rele­ vant to diatomic moleeules has become evident. Several excellent collections of this type of information have been available for many years (Refs. 1-3); however, the state of our collective knowledge has been considerably expanded since their publication.
