Molecular Ionization: Is Rydberg Formula Possible?

[ShayanJ]

Is there sth like rydberg formula for Molecular ionization?

 

[Borek]

No, it gets more and more complicated. Rydberg formula works only for hydrogen-like atoms (nucleus and one electron).

I guess for some very specific cases similar formulas could be found, but that would be numerology - while one can find some formula for every sequence, it doesn't meant the formula touches on some deeper phenomena as it is in the case of Rydberg's equation.
