35. The wave function is calculated using the potentials constructed by the RKR method with a program written in MATHEMATICA similar to that described by P. Senn, Comput. Chem. (Oxford) 19, 437 (1995).
36. The constants for the NO molecule are from G. Herzberg. Molecular Spectra and Molecular Structure, Spectra of Diatomic Molecules Vol. I, 2nd ed. (Van Nostrand, Princeton, 1967). The probability is calculated from squaring the wave function found by fitting the energies for the NO molecule to the NO RKR potential and integrating in the between 1.61 and 1.73 Å. From this, it is found that NO spends 30% of its time at the outer turning point.
