Abstract

A parameter-free analytical formula for dissociation energies of diatomic molecules is proposed by Fan and Sun (2009) [20] based on LeRoy and Bernstein's vibrational energy expression near dissociation limit. Using three highest vibrational energies which may be generated by the algebraic method (AM) presented in our previous study and by some other physical methods, the new formula is applied to study the molecular dissociation energies of 10 electronic states of KH, (7)LiD, (7)LiH, (6)LiH, NaK, NaLI and NaRb heteronuclear diatomic molecules which have regular (Morse-like) potentials in this work. The results show that the AM energies E(upsilon)(AM) and dissociation energies D(e)(AM) have excellent agreement with experimental values.
