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

1Band origins as defined in Barrow, Kopp, et al., 1974; add B"Λ"2 - B'Λ'2 to obtain zero lines.
2Constants from Barrow, Kopp, et al., 1974. Small discrepancy with the B1 value in the same paper.
3Λ-type doubling. Δνfe(v=0)= +0.00338*N(N+1).
4Interactions between levels of F 1Π and f 3Π .
5Λ-type doubling. Δνfe(v=0)= +0.00559J(J+1) - ... decreasing with increasing v.
6Λ-type doubling Δνfe = +0.00025J(J+1).
7Compare with ab initio calculations by So and Richards, 1974.
8Magnetic hyperfine structure; very small spin splitting.
9Relative energies of singlet and triplet states derived from the analysis of spin-forbidden perturbations, see 10.
10Interactions between levels of A 1Π and b 3Σ+ Barrow, Kopp, et al., 1974.
11This state may have a potential maximum of ~ 0.35 eV; see e.g. Barrow, 1960.
12He ~ -2.0E-12.
13A = +47 cm-1.
14αv= +1.718E-5(v+1/2)2 + 4.7E-8(v+1/2)3 Wyse and Gordy, 1970. From Wyse and Gordy, 1970 slightly different constants in Hoeft, Lovas, et al., 1970.
15Microwave sp. 20
16Thermochemical value, see Appendix of ref. Hildenbrand and Murad, 1966, also Murad, Hildenbrand, et al., 1966.
17Interpretation of Rydberg states Barrow, Kopp, et al., 1974. Electron impact appearance potentials vary from 9.5 to 10.1 eV Porter, 1960, Ehlert, Blue, et al., 1964, Murad, Hildenbrand, et al., 1966.
18He ~-1.1E-12.
19Λ-type doubling. Δνfe = +0.00010J(J+1).
20μel =1.53 D Lide, 1963. For eqQ(Al) see Hoeft, Lovas, et al., 1970, Wyse and Gordy, 1970, Honerjager and Tischer, 1974. Additional constants derived from Zeeman effect measurements (gJ, molecular quadrupole moment, etc.) in Honerjager and Tischer, 1974.
