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)

Notes

1Fragments in the region 74420 - 74523 cm-1.
2Fragments only.
3Nearly undegraded, headless band.
4The rotational constants for the 4s state and the 3d complex were re-determined by Johns and Lepard Johns and Lepard, 1975 using a model which gives proper consideration to the effects of s~d mixing. Ginter Ginter, 1966 obtained effective constants for the four states involved.
5missing note
6Predissociation in v=2 for J>8. v=3 perturbed at low J.
7Additional Dv and higher order constants in Johns, Grimm, et al., 1967.
8missing note
9Theoretical calculations Browne and Greenawalt, 1970, Pearson, Bender, et al., 1971 predict a double minimum potential curve.
10missing note
11H0 = +0.56E-9.
12The lowest 3Σ+ state, Te ~51700 Grimaldi, Lecourt, et al., 1966, Pearson, Bender, et al., 1971, is predicted Pearson, Bender, et al., 1971 to be Rydberg-like (3sσ) and quasi-bound at small internuclear distances, but valence-like and repulsive (dissociating into ground state atoms) for separations larger than 1.45 Å.
13He ~1.00E-7
14This state has a potential hump Herzberg and Mundie, 1940, Johns, Grimm, et al., 1967 of approximately 0.155 eV Hurley, 1961, Blint and Goddard, 1974.
15Λ-type doubling, Δvef = +[0.0389-0.027(v+1/2)]J(J+1).
16Predissociation by rotation. J' of the first missing or first diffuse lines: v'=0, em./abs = 27/30; v'=1, em./abs = 21/24; v'=2, em./abs = 14/17; v'=3, em./abs = -/6.
17μel(v=0) = 0.58 D Thomson and Dalby, 1969.
18αv= +0.1322(v+1/2)2 - 0.05188(v+1/2)3
19Radiative lifetime τ = 159 ns; f00 = 0.035 Smith, 1971.
20A0 = +5.95. Theoretical estimates of Te range from 2800 to 9700 cm-1; see the summary in Harrison and Allen, 1969, also Blint and Goddard, 1974.
21Λ-type doubling; see Almy and Horsfall, 1937.
22missing note
23μel(v=0)= 1.27 D Thomson and Dalby, 1969. Theory Stevens and Lipscomb, 1965 predicts a large negative rotational magnetic moment of -8.27 μN.
24Higher order constants in Johns, Grimm, et al., 1967.
25Summary of theoretical calculations see ref. in Cade and Huo, 1967, Harrison and Allen, 1969, Banyard and Taylor, 1975, Meyer and Rosmus, 1975.
26From the predissociation by rotation in A 1Π Johns, Grimm, et al., 1967; see 16. The estimated height (see 14) of the potential hump in A 1Π was subtracted from the extrapolated energy of the potential maximum. Good agreement with theory [ Ellison, 1965, additional results summarized in Meyer and Rosmus, 1975].
27From the observation of Rydberg states in the absorption spectrum Bauer, Herzberg, et al., 1964; theoretical computations Griffing and Simons, 1975 give 9.53 eV.
