The dissociation energies of second and third period hydrides have been estimated by fitting a Morse potential to the harmonic and cubic stretching force constants computed from abinitio wavefunctions. The estimates thus obtained are superior to dissociation energies computed by direct differences of Hartree–Fock energies.

Abstract Taking into account the universal correlation of the force constants of halide bonds with their respective dissociation energies (excluding the fluorides), an internuclear potential energy function of the type V(r) = De (1-e-α(r-re))2 + β (1-δF,X) (r - re)2e-γ(r-re) has been proposed for the diatomic halides. α und β, in the latter are constants for a specific series, γ is determined from the rotational-vibrational constant αe, and the function reduces to the ordinary Morse potential function in the case of the fluorides. It, moreover, performs as well as the Hulburt-Hirschfelder 5-parameter function, and, unlike the latter, utilizes the anharmoni-city constant ωeXe as an internal check.
