A new three-parameter potential energy function accurately describes 200 diatomic systems. A dimensionless quantity, xin, serves as a reliable criterion for predicting molecular spectroscopic constants.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Accurate potential energy functions are crucial for understanding diatomic molecular systems.
  • Existing models may not universally capture the behavior of diverse diatomic potentials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel three-parameter potential energy function for diatomic systems.
  • To establish a reliable criterion for identifying universal scaling features in molecular potentials and spectroscopic constants.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new three-parameter potential energy function.
  • Evaluated dissociation energies (De) for 200 diatomic systems.
  • Calculated a dimensionless quantity, xin, using scaled length parameters (Ln) and force constants (fn).
