Simple, near-universal relationships between bond lengths, strengths, and anharmonicities

Harmonic bond force constants and bond lengths are shown to generally obey the simple relationships, ke=ζ2Re−3 (hydrides) and ke=10ζ1/2Re−4 (all other bond types), where ζ is the reduced nuclear charge and Re is the equilibrium bond length. Equally simple power-law relationships are found for higher...
