Potential Energy Curves for CO

Abstract
Potential energy curves for the X 1Σ+, a 3πr, a3Σ+, d 3Δ, e 3Σ, A 1π, and B 1Σ+ electronic states of the CO molecule have been calculated by the Rydberg‐Klein‐Rees method. The curve for the A 1π state will have to bend sharply in the range between 1.9 and 2.1 A or it will have to pass through a maximum to reach the proper dissociation limit.
