Abstract
For Pb2 and BiLi, it is shown that relativistic effects yield large spin-orbit splittings and thus reduce the electronic partition function by significant amount. Since the partition function is required for dissociation energy calculations from mass spectrometric data, caution is advised in choosing the electronic partition function.
