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 (cal/mol*K)
    H° = standard enthalpy (kcal/mol)
    S° = standard entropy (cal/mol*K)
    t = temperature (K) / 1000.

Notes

1Recalculated from the heads of the 0-0 sequence using for the ground state the constants given in the table.
2Using data from Harvey, 1931 and Field, Harris, et al., 1975.
3Radiative lifetime τ(v=0) = 25.1 ns Dagdigian, Cruse, et al., 1974.
4Double heads on account of large spin-doubling in the upper state and high N values of the heads.
5A0 = +73.4.
6Λ-type doubling,Δνfe (2Π1/2) = -0.045(J+1/2).
7The possibility of predissociation above v=l6, as suggested by Hellwege, 1936, is now ruled out by the new value for D00.
8Radiative lifetime τ(v=0) = 20.2 ns Dagdigian, Cruse, et al., 1974.
