Abstract
THE disagreement between second- and third-law values of the dissociation energy of S2(D 0 0(S2)) obtained from equilibrium measurements was emphasized many years ago1. A relationship was also pointed out between the heat of combustion of SO, D 0 0(O2), D 0 0(SO) and D 0 0(S2), which should permit one to choose one of the values allowed by observed predissociations for D 0 0(S2) and D 0 0(SO). Recent measurements2 do not seem to settle the question3.
