48. J = (2I + 1)(I + 1) if J is odd. For upgerade electronic states, the ratio of odd to even states is reversed. Here I is the nuclear spin of indistinguishable particles exchanged during rotation. For heteronuclear diatomics, interchange symmetry does not apply and all states are equally weighted. For more information see: Townes, C. H.; Schawlow, A. L.

59. Calculation performed using the CCSD(T) method with the aug-cc-PVDZ basis set. The lowest two orbitals (correlating with the 1s orbitals in C and S) were frozen in the calculations. We also calculated the states in the presence of a 0.5 V/Aring; field parallel or perpendicular to the molecular axis.
