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)

Notes

1Molecular absorption cross sections 27000-62500 cm-1 Hudson, 1965.
2Vibrational constants from Chang, 1950.
3 Barrow, Travis, et al., 1960 report the following rotational constants for D: Be = 0.1185, αe = 0.001; C: Be = 0.128l5, αe = 0.00084. Considerably different constants, however, are quoted by Richards in Rosen, 1970. D: Be = 0.1152, αe = 0.00110; C: Be = 0.1185, αe = 0.00096.
4Fragment observed in two-photon excited Na2 fluorescence.
5Vibrational constants from Sinha, 1949 (except Te which has been recalculated). Barrow, Travis, et al., 1960, without details, give Te = 29393, ωe = 117.3, ωexe = 0.55, while Richards Rosen, 1970 quotes 29384.8, 119.53, and 0.782, respectively.
6-0.000495(v+1/2)3 - 0.000153(v+1/2)4 + 7.01E-6(v+1/2)5 - 1.804E-7(v+1/2)6; from the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum, including levels with v'≤ 29 Demtroder and Stock, 1975. This state has a potential hump of ~ 550 cm-1 (0.069 eV); see Demtroder and Stock, 1975, also Callender, Gersten, et al., 1974. The non-appearance of levels with v'>26 in the magnetic rotation spectrum may be due to weak predissociation; see King and Van Vleck, 1939.
7-3.159E-5(v+1/2)2 + 1.040E-6(v+1/2)3 - 2.920E-8(v+1/2)4. The constants are for P and R lines, B(R,P) - B(Q) = +0.0000128 Demtroder and Stock, 1975.
8He = -2.145E-11and higher order constants Demtroder and Stock, 1975.
9Radiative lifetimes of 24 different levels (v',J') have been measured with an accuracy of ~ 1% by means of a delayed coincidence single-photon counting technique Demtroder, Stetzenbach, et al., 1976; the observed lifetimes [see also McClintock, Demtroder, et al., 1969, Baumgartner, Demtroder, et al., 1970] vary from 7.0 to 7.5 ns and have been used to determine the electronic transition moment and its variation with r. The results are in good agreement with Hessel, Smith, et al., 1974 and with the ab initio calculations of Stevens, Hessel, et al., 1977. See, however, Callender, Gersten, et al., 1974, Williams and Rousseau, 1974.
10Franck-Condon factors, dependence on rotation Demtroder, Stetzenbach, et al., 1976.
11The band origin given here does not include -BΛ2.
12+5.167E-6(v+1/2)3 + 9.277E-6(v+1/2)4 - 1.456E-7(v+1/2)5; from Kaminsky, 1977, see also Kusch and Hessel, 1975. The observations extend to v' = 44 Kaminsky, Hawkins, et al., 1976, Kaminsky, 1977.
13Rotational perturbations in v=0 and 1 are caused by levels belonging to the three components of the lower lying a 3Π state Kusch and Hessel, 1975. Similar perturbations affect the higher vibrational levels and are responsible for theappearance of an A-X magnetic rotation spectrum Fredrickson and Stannard, 1933, Carroll, 1937.
14RKR potential function Kaminsky, 1977.
15+1.625E-8(v+1/2)2 + 3.165E-8(v+1/2)3 - 9.205E-10(v+1/2)4; from Kaminsky, 1977, see also Kusch and Hessel, 1975.
16He = +1.129E-12 Kaminsky, 1977, see also Kusch and Hessel, 1975.
17Radiative lifetimes Ducas, Littman, et al., 1976 are nearly constant for 1≤v≤25, τ = 12.5 ± 0.5 ns Ducas, Littman, et al., 1976, in very good agreement with theory Stevens, Hessel, et al., 1977.
18Constants estimated from the perturbations in A 1Σu+ Carroll, 1937, see 13. Bardsley, Junker, et al., 1976 predict Te = 13500 Bardsley, Junker, et al., 1976, ωe = 160, Be = 0.154.
19-0.00l095(v+1/2)3 - 4.72E-5(v+1/2)4 + 3.21E-7(v+1/2)5 - 7.53E-9(v+1/2)6; the analysis of the B→X system includes levels with v"≤46 Demtroder and Stock, 1975.
20RKR potential functions Demtroder and Stock, 1975.
21-3.146E-6(v+1/2)2 - 2.400E-7(v+1/2)3 + 4.84E-9(v+1/2)4 - 8.73E-11(v + 1/2)5, from Demtroder and Stock, 1975.
22He = +1.92E-12, also higher order constants Demtroder and Stock, 1975.
23Mol. beam magn. Reson. 26
24From De0 = 5890 ± 70 cm-1 based on the RKR potential curve for the ground state Demtroder, McClintock, et al., 1969, Demtroder and Stock, 1975. The thermochemical value of Lewis, 1931, obtained by a molecular beam technique, is 0.732 eV.
25From photoionization Hudson, 1965, Foster, Leckenby, et al., 1969. A similar value is obtained by extrapolation of the Rydberg series B, C, D, E Barrow, Travis, et al., 1960, Morales, 1963, Velasco, 1973.
26gJ = (+)0.03892 μN Brooks, Anderson, et al., 1963. From the nuclear resonance spectrum Logan, Cote, et al., 1952 determined eqQ, but much improved hyperfine coupling constants eqQ and c [spin rotational constant, see also Konig and Weber, 1976] in the v=0, J=28 level have recently been obtained by Rosner, Holt, et al., 1975 using a laser-fluorescence molecular-beam-resonance technique.
