Dissociation Energies of Some Metal Sulfides

Abstract

The dissociation energies (or upper limits to D0) of the following molecules have been deduced from a mass-spectrometric study: D0(CaS)=79.5 kcal/mole, D0(SrS)=80 kcal/mole, D0(FeS)≤77 kcal/mole, D0(ZnS)≤50 kcal/mole, D0(CdS)≤47 kcal/mole, D0(HgS)≤50 kcal/mole.
