Gas Phase Heat Capacity (Shomate Equation)

Cp° = A + B*t + C*t2 + D*t3 + E/t2
H° − H°298.15= A*t + B*t2/2 + C*t3/3 + D*t4/4 − E/t + F − H
S° = A*ln(t) + B*t + C*t2/2 + D*t3/3 − E/(2*t2) + G
    Cp = heat capacity (J/mol*K)
    H° = standard enthalpy (kJ/mol)
    S° = standard entropy (J/mol*K)
    t = temperature (K) / 1000.

Notes

1A very weak head at 48502.7 cm-1 has tentatively been identified as 2-3 band; ΔG'(3/2)=1212.7 cm-1.
2The Λ-type doubling in the 1/2 [Δνef(v=0) ~ -0.011(J+1/2)] and 3/2 components does not conform with the "pure precession" pattern frequently observed in regular 2Π states; see Colin, Carleer, et al., 1972.
3D1=1.9E-6.
4values for D00 obtained by various methods have been summarized in Farber and Srivastava, 1974, all being close to 4.51 eV and substantially higher than a mass-spectrometric value of 3.99 eV Hildenbrand and Theard, 1969. The interpretation Carleer, Burtin, et al., 1977 of an inverse predissociation assumed to be responsible for the strikingly high intensity of B → X bands with v'=1 suggests an even lower value of 3.45 eV.
5Av=+52.8-1.4(v+1/2).
