That shape looks familiar, but not sure from what exactly. Physics or physical chemistry?

If you just want a function that fits the graph but you don't really know the mechanism making the shape, try polynomial function fit. Maybe third or fourth degree polynomial can give a good fit. Your graph shows fairly easily readable points. You'll only need the simplest of Linear Algebra skills to determine the function.
