The Ã1B2 state of CO2, identified by Dixon (1963) as the upper level of the ‘carbon monoxide flame bands’, must be of importance in the upper atmospheres of Venus and Mars. New calculations of the high vibrational levels of the ground state, which lead to improved fits of the observed vibration-rotation bands, confirm Dixon's analysis, except that the numbering must be lowered by two, and fix the energy of the v = 0, K = 0 level of 1B2 at 45210 ± 10 cm−1 = 5.605 eV.
