Abstract
Because of the long-range behavior of the internuclear potential representing the interaction between two atoms, A and B, there are often a certain number of closely spaced vibrational-rotational levels near dissociation. Although the properties of AB molecules in such levels are usually unique and nonintuitive, they can be simply related to the form and magnitude of the long-range potential; hence, we shall refer to them as ``Long-Range Molecules”, denoted AB. The existence of many long-range molecules has already been established by electronic spectroscopy; herein., we shall discuss the unusual radiative and non-radiative properties of these molecules.
