Abstract
Recently published ground state RKR potential curves of mercury halides are analyzed by using the RPC (reduced potential curve) method. It is shown that these potential curves are quantitatively incorrect, although the sequence of the potential curves of HgCl, HgBr and HgI yields a qualitatively correct picture of the sequence of diatomic molecules with increasing atomic numbers in the RPC scheme. This failure is caused by issufficient rotational analysis and an extrapolation by Morse-curve fitting. A similar analysis is given for a ground state RKR curve of Bi 2. These examples illustrate a possible application of the RPC method.
