Abstract
We note here that a significant discrepancy exists between the recently determined dissociation energy of the O2 B 3Σ u − state and the energy of the O(1 D 2)+O(3 P 2) dissociation limit determined in a spectroscopic cycle. The major contribution to this discrepancy appears to be the currently accepted value for the energy of the O2 + b 4Σ g − state relative to the ground electronic state of molecular oxygen.Keywords
