Abstract
Only one electron affinity of oxygen, 43(1) kJ mol−1 is generally cited since the molecular orbital theory anion bond order [3/4] gives an electron affinity, 14 kJ mol−1. However, electron correlation rules predict 27 bonding and 27 antibonding spin orbital coupling states. The relative bond orders (RBOs), 12/13 to [1/4] and the 13 valence electrons of superoxide are used to calculate electron affinities 103 to −243 kJ mol−1 consistent with experimental and theoretical values. These are used to construct 54 ionic Morse potentials.
