The equilibrium internuclear separation (r.) was deduced to be 1.72 A based on a Dunham analysis. It is concluded that the most probable value for DO (AsP) is 4.2 ± 0.2 eV. The vertical ionization potential and electron affinity are 9.4 ± 0.2 and and 1.1 eV, respectively. It is believed that the computed electric dipole moment is too large. and an amended value of 1.75 D is recommended, with the negative end of the dipole at the fluorine atom. At r., the quadrupole moment measured from the center of mass is -2.44 X 10-26 esu . cm 2 ; however, the reliability of this result is uncertain. Ideal gas thermodynamic functions have been calculated for the temperature range O--looooK, based on the formulas of statistical mechanics. Koopmans' theorem yields 18.1 eV for the second ionization potential. A brief discussion of the bond enthalpies of AsF+. AsF 2 +, and AsPis also included. Estimates have been made of the first and second ionization potentials of SbF (8.4 and 16.3 eV) and BiF (7.3 and 16.6 eV).
