thresholds have been identified in the spectra of CrO, MoO, RuO, and RhO. Similar
thresholds have previously been used to measure the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) of
many molecules that have a high density of vibronic states at the ground separated atom
limit. A high density of states allows precise measurement of the BDE by facilitating prompt
dissociation to ground state atoms when the BDE is exceeded. However, the number of …
