✦ Synopsis

HoAu2 and TbAu, were determined by means of high-temperature Kundsen-cell mass spectrometry as 143.9 i 8, 131.1 * 8 and 143.3 * 8 kcal mole-', respectively.

-The measuied itoinization energies suggest the structure AuLnAu. They agree with the values calculated after the Pa&g model hi assuming two polar single bonds. The remaining rvesvth metals are also expected to form stable diatuicies wi5h atomization energies ~imi!ar to those calculated after the Pauling model.
