To the best of our knowledge, this problem is examined in literature in usual RQM and NRQM. The new potential suggested describes some selected diatomic molecules such as the homogeneous diatomic molecules (N2 and H2) and heterogeneous diatomic molecules (HCl, HBr, SO, NO, and HI). The new values that we get appeared sensitive to the quantum numbers (j,s,m) in addition to the usual states’ numbers (n,l), the potential depths of the potential (V_0,V_1,V_2), the range of the potential α and noncommutativity parameters (Θ,σ,χ). We have highlighted three physical phenomena that automatically generate a result of the topological properties of non-commutativity. The first physical phenomenon is the perturbative spin-orbit coupling, the second is the magnetic induction, and the third is the rotational proper phenomenon. In both relativistic and nonrelativistic problems, we show that the corrections on the spectrum energy are smaller than the main energy in the ordinary cases of quantum field theory and quantum mechanics. In the new symmetries of NCQM, it is not possible to get the exact analytical solutions for l=0 and l≠0, so the approximate solutions are available. We have observed that the DKGE under the MEPNMDHP has a physical behavior similar to the Duffin-Kemmer equation that can describe the dynamic state of a particle with spin-1 in the symmetries of RNCQM. Four special cases; i.e., l wave is investigated in the context of DKGE and Schrödinger theories. The new relativistic and nonrelativistic energy for some potentials, such as only modified Eckart potential and only new modified Hylleraas potential, have also been obtained by varying some potential parameters.\u0000Keywords: Klein-Gordon equation, Schrödinger equation, Eckart potentials, Modified Hylleraas potential, Diatomic molecules, Noncommutative geometry, Star products, Bopp's shift method.\u0000PACs: 03.65.
