The ground-state dissociation energy starts at the lowest vibrational level, rather than the minimum of the potential. The zero-point energy of the Morse oscillator is
(1)
Subtracting it from the bond potential-well depth gives
(2)
This distinction matters whenever a dissociation energy is inferred from a vibrational spectrum.
