From Fig. 1 of this paper, the binding energy of excitonic molecules in CuCl is estimated as (Formula presented) for (Formula presented) (in CuCl (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) where (Formula presented) is the free electron mass).

Gorban [Solid State Commun. 98, 941 (1996)] claim the observation of the M series in (Formula presented) They found, however, (Formula presented) This value is too large for the M inverse series: our first-principle numerical estimates yield about 1/1000 for (Formula presented) in (Formula presented) Furthermore, the experimental data by Gorban et al. were not confirmed in a similar experiment by K.
