Abstract
The bond dissociation energy, D e , is a critical parameter in thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and kinetics. For example, in thermodynamics, bond energies directly affect heats of formation and reaction. Dissociation energies thus also play key roles determining rates of reaction as a function of temperature. This chapter will give several examples of how spectroscopic information can reveal D e (of ground and excited electronic states).
