PERIODIC TABLE OF FREE DIATOMIC-MOLECULES .2. PREDICTED INTER-NUCLEAR SEPARATIONS FROM CURVE-FITTED DATA

Recent theory substantiates the stacking order of the areas in the recently proposed periodic table of the free diatomic molecules. The periodic table suggests curve-fitting algorithms for re which, after semi-empirical perturbations yield ground-state values for re which agree with literature values and with those from an alternate algorithm to from 5 to 8%. 800 predicted re extend to superheavy quasimolecules and to molecules with superheavy atoms, and many pertain to molecules of laser interest. © 1979.
