The conventional extremely simplified form of the Heitler-London theory is applied to the energy levels of the molecules BH, CH, NH, OH, FH. The exchange integrals, determined empirically to make the theory fit the known levels, are found to vary slowly and regularly from one molecule to the next. The energies of states as yet unobserved are predicted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
