Dissociation energy of CO+ from the true potential energy curve

Dissociation energy ofP + 2 molecule

“…This procedure is repeated for different values of D, with variation of 0.06 eV and the value for which the best fitting of the energy values obtained is taken to be the dissociation energy of the molecule. Such a procedure has been employed for grotmd states of CO + (Bagare and Murthy 1978), MgO (Murthy and Bagaxe 1977) and TiO (l_akslxman et al 1978). The average error of this function in the present case for the ground state is only 0.07~ as measured by V --VmJDo throughout the range of r values.…”
