Abstract

A semi-classical theory is employed to investigate the number of bound and rotationally pre-dissociating states of diatomic molecules as a function of the rotational angular momentum, J , for various model interatomic potentials. The vibrational and rotational separation of the highest pre-dissociating states is also considered. The dominating influence of the long-range portion of the potential on these results for small values of J is discussed.
