Abstract
Specially designed computer programs have been written which allow accurate determination of the Dunham potential constants of diatomic molecules. The computation process will be discussed in detail and graphical representations of the potential functions obtained using computer techniques will also be discussed. It is possible to predict the values of the equilibrium constants for all isotopic substituted species of the molecule after the potential constants are known. Band origins and rotational constants can be calculated from the equilibrium constants and compared with experimental results. Recent high resolution infrared measurements of HF and three isotopic substituted species of HCl at The Ohio State University and other studies of the hydrogen halides are compared with predicted results and excellent agreement is obtained in many cases.
