In this work, the molecular constants were derived without taking into account the (Formula presented) term in the rotational energy E=B[J(J+1)-(Formula presented)]. The RKR potential is, therefore, corrected by a term of (Formula presented)/2μ(Formula presented).
35. The prediction [Y.-K. Kim (private communication) and Refs. 15–17 ] that the matrix elements for the two components differ slightly due to relativistic corrections (Formula presented), does not affect our spectroscopic analysis or lifetime determinations at the current level of uncertainty. Differences between the (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) lifetimes are due solely to differences in λ [C. Corliss and J. Sugar, J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data 8, 1109 (1979)].
