For the electronic ground state X 1 Σ + g , the potential‐energy function of He 2 reported by Aziz et al. has been transformed into the form V(z), containing only eight parameters, which is more suitable for the investigation of the existence of states of discrete energy. We found no evidence that a bound vibration‐rotational state of the stable diatomic molecule 3 He 2 or 4 He 2 , even if rotating, can exist in the electronic ground state.
