What is it about?
A new formula for the equilibrium bond distance in diatomic molecules has been derived, taking into account temperature dependence and the parameters of the Morse potential. The bond distance increases slowly with temperature and has been calculated for hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride molecules, with results comparable to experimental data.

Why is it important?
The formula is based on the integral equation theory of distribution functions. The bond distance is affected by temperature and the other two parameters of the Morse potential. The calculated bond distances for hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride molecules are reliable and comparable to experimental results.
