Abstract

A simple method is proposed for calculating the dissociation energies of electronic states of diatomic molecules from the experimental vibrational Dunham coefficients. The procedure is based on the near-dissociation expansion for vibrational levels, which requires that these levels have the correct functional dependence on the long-range interatomic potential. Tests are reported which show that the method gives good results when applied to electronic states which dissociate into ion pairs. © 1983.
