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
| 1 | No clear identification of the various isotopic band heads was possible. |
| 2 | The assignment of the emission band heads by Parker, 1935, is not correct. |
| 3 | From Morgan and Barrow, 1961. Somewhat different results in Patel and Patel, 1968. |
| 4 | Thermochemical value (mass-spectrometry); average of three reactions Hildenbrand, 1970, 2, Farber and Srivastava, 1976. |
