DISSOCIATION-ENERGIES OF PH AND PH+

Dissociation energies for the ground electronic states of diatomic PH and PH+ are determined by fitting empirical potential functions to the respective RKRV curves using correlation coefficients. The estimated ground state dissociation energies of PH and PH+ are 3.10 and 3.20 eV respectively by the curve fitting procedure using Lippincott potential function. The computed values are in good agreement with experimental values.
