Iron ionisation energy value query

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the ionization energy of iron (Fe), specifically questioning the accuracy of the published value of 195200 kJ/mol for the 24th ionization level. The user believes the correct value should be approximately 197400 kJ/mol. The conversation highlights the challenge of validating ionization energy values due to reliance on previously published data and seeks definitive sources to confirm the correct figure.

PREREQUISITES

I'm looking at fe ionisation. Wherever I look I get similar values. Probably because everybody just keeps reusing published values...
I think the value for the 24 th level is incorrect but I'm not sure how to validate this.
The published value is 195200 but I think it should be more like 197400.
Any pointer to a definitive source would be appreciated.
 
Why do you think it should be 197400? And where does the other value come from?
 
Can you kindly provide us with references?
