The Normal State of the Hydrogen Molecule

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The dissociation energy, moment of inertia, and fundamental vibration frequency are calculated for a normal hydrogen molecule by a variational method and are found to be 4.02 v, 4,66·{}10^-41 gm-cm², and 4260 cm^-1 as compared to the experimental values 4.42, 4.67·{}10^-41, and 4380, respectively. The calculation is carried through with the simplest possible improvements in the wave functions. In the appendix a number of integrals are listed and two tables of functions are included that may be useful to calculators.
