The potential energy curve for the electronic ground state of the SnCl molecule has been constructed by the Rydberg-Klein-Rees method in the modification by Vanderslice and collaborators. Empirical potential functions, of five parameters by Hulburt and Hirschfelder, of three parameters by Lippincott and collaborators, and that by Szoke and Baitz using the electronegativity are examined for their adequacy to represent the true curve. The five parameters by Hulburt-Hirschfelder function, U(r) = De[(1 - e-x)2 + c x3 e-2x (1 + bx)], was found to be the best fitting function and it was used for the determination of the dissociation energy. The estimated value attained for dissociation energy is 346 ± 8 kJ mol-1. For this value of dissociation energy, the estimated values for parameters and expansion coefficients are c = 0.06864, b = -0.363738, a0 = 2.759 . 103 m-1, a1 = 2.876 and a2 = 4.013, a0, a1 and a2, being the Dunham's coefficients.

The Franck-Condon factors (vibrational transition probabilities) and r-centroids have been evaluated by a more reliable numerical interogation procedure for the bands of b1Σ+ - X3Σ- system of the PF molecule, using a suitable potential. The dissociation energy, De = 318 kJ mol-1 for the electronic ground state of this molecule has been estimated by fitting the electronegativity function to the experimental potential energy curve.

The absorption spectrum of the Mg2 molecule, which occurs in a furnace containing Mg vapor, has been photographed with a high resolution spectrograph. The rotational structures of the bands have been analyzed and the rotational and vibrational constants of the two states determined. The bands are found to arise from a 1Σ–1Σ transition between a very lightly bonded ground state and a more stable excited state. The R.K.R. potential energy curve of the ground state, which has a dissociation energy of 399 cm−1, has been determined. The more important constants of the ground state are ωe = 51.12 cm−1, ωexe = 1.64 cm−1, re = 3.890 Å and those of the upper state are ωe = 190.61 cm−1, ωexe = 1.14 cm−1, re = 3.082 Å.
