Abstract
A GREAT deal of work has been carried out by many investigators during the last two years in order to determine the heat of dissociation of carbon monoxide by means of spectroscopic methods. But as yet this very important figure is not known with any certainty, the values proposed by different authors varying between 11.06 and 6.9 e.v. ; however, only the values 9.1 e.v. and less are not in contradiction with existing spectroscopic and thermo-chemical data.
