The performance of simple three-parameter potential functions in predicting the inner branches of known diatomic potentials is tested for 35 diatomic molecular states. The Varshni III potential outperforms the Morse and Rydberg functions when the spectroscopic Re, ωe, and De values are used to define the potential parameters, but all three functions perform comparably well when Re, ωe, and ωexe are used. In the latter case the 35 potentials show an average absolute value of about 0.6% for the maximum relative error. Keywords: diatomic molecules, potential energy curves.

The potential energy curves for several diatomic molecules have been calculated by using Tietz potential energy functions and the values thus obtained have been compared with that of RKRV. It is found that in some cases this empirical form is a good approximation to the true curve.

The Schrödinger–Riccati equation has been used for the prediction of the ground-state energy of Be I. A statistical calculation yields a value of –14.670 hartree, with a maximum relative error of 0.02% (in absolute value) with respect to the exact energy of –14.667 36 hartree.

Three potential energy functions are examined with respect to their ability to reproduce the inner branch of the potential curve for 43 molecular states. Two of the states turn out to be unusual. In the remaining 41 cases, it is found that a potential proposed by the author gives the least error in 28 cases and is close to the least error in another six. The potential curves of NaAr(X) and XeCl(X) are very different from those of the other 41 states considered in this paper. The Born–Mayer potential appears to provide a reasonable representation of the inner branch of the potential curve for XeCl(X).
