Dissociation of Gaseous Diatomic Molecules. II. Effect of Anharmonicities
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Chemical Physics
The classical adiabatic calculation of the rate of dissociation of diatomic molecules was extended to Morse potential oscillators in one-dimensional colinear collisions. The limits of error of the method were formulnted and numerical calculations of the rates of dissociation of H/sub 2/ in Xe and I/sub 2/ in Ar were made assuming both the Morse and harmonic potentials. The harmonic results were in good agreement with experiment. Estimates of the errors involved show that the anharmonic results are not as reliable as the harmonic results. The distribution functions for a strongly interacting harmonic oscillator were also calculated.
