Kolos and Wolniewicz calculations for the B 1 σ + u state of H 2 are used to determine theoretical Dunham coefficients and rotational constants D v and H v . Use of the virial theorem leads to an equilibrium separation R e significantly in error. Adiabatic corrections to the Born‐Oppenheimer potential yield appreciable changes in Y 10 and Y 01 , but very small corrections for other constants. Theoretical vibrational constants are found that are in excellent agreement with the experimental constants of Wilkinson. Theoretical values of D v and H v are believed to be more reliable than those available from experiment. Both D v and H v curves are monotonically decreasing up to vibrational quantum number v = 25.
