Notes:
Spontaneous radiative lifetimes of the observed electronic states of CuCl have been calculated using a model including spin–orbit interaction mixings within the Cu+(3d94s)Cl−(3s23p6) structure. The required wave functions have been determined semiempirically and locations of the as-yet unobserved components have been estimated. For the A 3Σ1+, C 3Π0e, D 1Π1, E 1Σ0+, and F 3Δ1 components, the lifetimes calculated in the simple single-configuration pure-precession approximation with a slight modification in the Ω=0e block are in good agreement with earlier experimental measurements. On the contrary, for the B 3Π1 component, there is a marked discrepancy that cannot be reduced except by assigning very unlikely values to the off-diagonal spin–orbit parameters.
