Hello,
How can I calculate the bond dissociation energy for K+Br- when I only know the the length of the bond?
Equation D0 = De - 0.5hω does not help because I do not know ω and De. ω is the vibrational frequency of the bond.
Thank you for your advice beforehand.

isn't there an inorganic chemistry way to this.
I'm not really sure but i do remember finding energy of NaCl by i guess born haber cycle
 
If you assume its a purely ionic bond, you can calculate its energy just from electrostatic attraction. You know the initial distance, you known charges, just move atoms to infinity.
