“…However, among the ten intragroup heteronuclaer diatomics, only five (namely, SiC, GeC, SnC, GeSi, and SnGe) were experimentally characterized until five years ago [9]. To fill this gap, in the last few years we undertook a systematic study of these species, which led us to identify and characterize the new SnPb, SiPb, GePb, and SiSn species by KEMS experiments [9][10][11]. After this work, the knowledge of the dissociation energies of Group 14 diatomics is now almost complete (Fig.…”
