Accurate potential energy function and spectroscopic study of the X^2∑＋, A^2П and B^2∑＋ states of the CP radical

This paper calculates the equilibrium internuclear separations, the harmonic frequencies and the potential energy curves of the X^2∑＋, A^2П and B^2∑＋ states of the CP radical by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method with correlation-consistent basis sets （aug-cc-pV6Z for C atom and aug-cc-pVQZ for P atom）. The potential energy curves are all fitted with the analytic potential energy function by the least-square fitting. Employing the analytic potential energy function, we determine the spectroscopic constants （Be, αe and ωeχe） of these states. For the X2∑＋ state, the obtained values of De, Be, αe, ωeχe, Re and ωe are 5.4831 eV, 0.792119 cm-1, 0.005521 cm-1, 6.89653 cm-1, 0.15683 nm, 12535.11 cm-1, respectively. For the A2H state, the present values of De, Be,αe, ωeχe, Re and We are 4.586 eV, 0.703333 cm-1, 0.005458 cm-1, 6.03398 cm-1, 0.16613 nm, 1057.89 cm-1, respectively. For the B2E＋ state, the present values of De, Be, αe, ωeχe, Re and We are 3.506 eV, 0.677561 cm-1, 0.00603298 cm-1, 5.68809 cm-1, 0.1696 nm, 822.554 cm-1, respectively. For these states, the vibrational states with the rotational quantum number J equals zero （J = 0） are studied by solving the radial nuclear Schr6dinger equation using the Numerov method. For each vibrational state, the vibrational level, the classical turning points, the rotational inertial and the centrifugal distortion constants are calculated. Comparison is made with recent theoretical and experimental results.     

Spectroscopic investigations on NO＋（X1∑＋, a3∑＋, A1II） ion using multi-reference configuration interaction method and correlation-consistent sextuple basis set augmented with diffuse functions

Three low-lying electronic states （X1∑, a3∑＋, and A1II） of NO＋ ion are studied using the complete active space self-consistent-field （CASSCF） method followed by highly accurate valence internally contracted multi-reference configuration interaction （MRCI） approach in combination of the correlation-consistent sextuple basis set augmented with diffuse functions, aug-cc-pV6Z. The potential energy curves （PECs） of the NO＋（X1∑＋, a3∑＋, A1II） are calculated. Based on the PECs, the spectroscopic parameters Re, De, We, WeXe, ae, Be, and D0 are reproduced, which are in excellent agreement with the available measurements. By numerically solving the radial SchrSdinger equation of nuclear motion using the Numerov method, the first 20 vibrational levels, inertial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants of NO＋（X1∑＋, a3∑＋, A1II） ion are derived when the rotational quantum number J is equal to zero （J = 0） for the first time, which accord well with the available measurements. Finally, the analytical potential energy functions of these states are fitted, which are used to accurately derive the first 20 classical turning points when J = 0. These results are compared in detail with those of previous investigations reported in the literature.

The reasonable dissociation limit for the G^1Ⅱg, state of dimer ^7Li2 is determined. The equilibrium internuclear distance, dissociation energy, harmonic frequency, vibrational zero energy, and adiabatic excitation energy are calculated using a symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration-interactlon method in complete active space in Gaussian03 program package at such numerous basis sets as 6-311 ＋＋G, 6-311 ＋＋G（2df,2pd）, 6-311 ＋＋G（2df, p）, cc-PVTZ, 6- 311＋＋G（3df,3pd）, CEP-121G, 6-311＋＋G（2df, pd）, 6-311＋＋G（d,p）,6-311G（3df,3pd）, D95（3df,3pd）, 6-311＋＋G（3df,2p）, 6-311＋＋G（2df）, 6-311＋＋G（df, pd） D95V＋＋, and DGDZVP. The complete potential energy curves are obtained at these sets over a wide internuclear distance range and have least squares fitted to Murrell-Sorbie function. The conclnsion shows that the basis set 6-311＋＋G（2df, p） is a most suitable one for the G^1Ⅱg state. At this basis set, the calculated spectroscopic constants Te, De, Eo, Re, ωe, ωeXe, ae, and Be are of 3.9523 eV, 0.813 06 eV, 113.56 cm^-1, 0.320 15 nm, 227.96 cm^-1, 1.6928 cm^-1, 0.004 436 cm^-1, and 0.4689 cm^-1, respectively, which are in good agreement with measurements whenever available. The total 50 vibrational levels and corresponding inertial rotation constants are for the first time calculated and compared with available RKR data. And good agreement with measurements is obtained.

Molecular constants of LiCI（X^1∑＋） and elastic collisions of two ground-state Cl and Li atoms at low and ultralow temperatures

Interaction potentials for LiCI（X^1∑＋） are constructed by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction in combination with a number of large correlation-consistent basis sets, which are used to determine the spectroscopic parameters （D0, De, Re, ωe, ωeχe, Be and αe）. The potentials obtained at the basis sets, i.e., aug-cc-pV5Z-JKFI for Cl and cc-pV5Z for Li, are selected to study the elastic collision properties of Li and Cl atoms at the impact energies from 1.0 ×10^-12 to 1.0× 10-4 a.u. The derived total elastic cross sections are very large and almost constant at ultralow temperatures, and their shapes are mainly dominated by the s-partial wave at very low impact energies. Only one shape resonance can be found in the total elastic cross sections over the present collision energy regime, which is rather strong and obviously broadened by the overlap contributions of the abundant resonances coming from various partial waves. Abundant resonances exist for the elastic partial-wave cross sections until l= 22 partial waves. The vibrational manifolds of the LiCI（X^1∑＋） molecule, which are predicted at the present level of theory and the basis sets cc-pV5Z for Li and the aug-cc-pV5Z-JKFI for Cl, should achieve much high accuracy due to the employment of the large correlation-consistent basis sets.

The analytical potential energy function of flue gas SO2（X1A1）

The equilibrium structure of flue gas SO2 is optimized using the density functional theory （DFT）/B3P86 method and CC-PV5Z basis. The result shows that it has a bent （C2v, X1A1） ground state structure with an angle of 119.1184°. The vibronic frequencies and the force constants are also calculated. Based on the principles of atomic and molecular reaction statics （AMIIS）, the possible electronic states and reasonable dissociation limits for the ground state of SO2 molecule are determined. The potential functions of SO and 02 are fitted by the modified Murrell-Sorbie＋c6 （M-S＋c6） potential function and the fitted parameters, the force constants and the spectroscopic constants are obtained, which are all close to the experimental values. The analytic potential energy function of the SO2 （X1A1） molecule is derived using the many-body expansion theory. The contour liues are constructed, which show the static properties of SO2 （XIA1）, such as the equilibrium structure, the lowest energies, the most possible reaction channel, etc.     

MRCI potential energy curves and analytical potential energy functions for the X^2∑^＋ and 2^∏ states of BO molecule

The potential energy curves （PECs） of BO molecule, including ∑^＋and ∏ symmetries with doublet spin multiplicities, are obtained employing multi-reference configuration interaction （MRCI） method and Dunning＇s correlation consistent basis sets. The analytical potential energy functions （APEFs） are fitted using the Murrell-Sorbie （MS） function and the least square method. Based on the PECs, the spectroscopic constants of the states have been determined and compared with the theoretical and experimental results available to affirm the accuracy and liability of the calculations. The root-mean-square （RMS） errors between the fitted results and the ab initio values are too little in comparison with the chemical accuracy （349.755 cm^-1）. It is shown that the present APEFs are accurate and can display the interaction between the atoms well. The present APEFs can be used to construct more complicated APEF or do some dynamic investigations.

The 18 A-S states correlated to the lowest dissociation limit of SiTe were calculated by using a high-level multirefer-ence configuration interaction （MRCI） method, including scalar relativistic and spin-orbit coupling effects. Based on the calculated potential energy curves, the spectroscopic constants of bound states were determined, which are well consistent with previous experimental results. The spin-orbit matrix elements between the A-S states were computed, which lead to an in-deoth understanding, of oerturbations on the electronic state a^3∏. Finally. the transition dioole moments of allowed transitionsA^1∏-X^1∑^＋,E^1∑^＋-X^1∑^＋,a^3∏-d^3△,a^3∏-d^3△,a^∏-a′^3∑^＋,a^3∏-e^3∑^-,and the radiative lifetimes of A^1∏,E^1∑^＋,and a^3∏ were evaluated.     

Ab initio calculations on the α^3∑u^＋ state properties of dimer ^7Li2

The comparison between single-point energy scanning （SPES） and geometry optimization （OPT） in determining the equilibrium geometry of the α^3∑u^＋ state for ^7Li2 is made at numerous basis sets such as 6-311＋＋G（2df）, cc-PVTZ, 6-311＋＋G（2df, p）, 6-311G（3df,3pd）, 6-311＋＋G（2df,2pd）, D95（3df,3pd）, 6-311＋＋G, DGDZVP, 6-311＋＋G（3df,2pd）, 6-311G（2df,2pd）, D95V＋＋, CEP-121G, 6-311＋＋G（d,p）, 6-311＋＋G（2df, pd） and 6-311＋＋G（3df,3pd） in full active space using a symmetry-adapted-cluster/ symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration-interaction （SAC/SAC=CI） method presented in Gaussian03 program package. The difference of the equilibrium geometries obtained by SPES and by OPT is reported. Analyses show that the results obtained by SPES are more reasonable than those obtained by OPT. We have calculated the complete potential energy curves at those sets over a wide internuclear distance range from about 3.0α0 to 37.0α0, and the conclusion is that the basis set cc-PVTZ is the most suitable one. With the potential obtained at ccopVTZ, the spectroscopic data （Te, De, D0, ωe,ωeХe, αe and Be） are computed and they are 1.006 eV, 338.71 cm^-1, 307.12 cm^-1, 64.88 cm^-1, 3.41 cm^-1, 0.0187 cm^-1 and 0.279 cm^-1, respectively, which are in good agreement with recent measurements. The total 11 vibrational states are found at J=0. Their corresponding vibrational levels and classical turning points are computed and compared with available RKR data, and good agreement is found. One inertial rotation constant （By） and six centrifugal distortion constants （Dr Hv, Lv, My, Nv, and Ov） are calculated. The scattering length is calculated to be -27.138α0, which is in good accord with the experimental data.     

Computation of Bond Dissociation Energies for Removal of Nitrogen Dioxide Groups in Certain Aliphatic Nitro Compounds

Bond dissociation energies for removal of nitrogen dioxide groups in 10 aliphatic nitro compounds, including nitromethane, nitroethylene, nitroethane, dinitromethane, 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 1-nitrobutane, 2-methyl-2-nitropropane, nitropentane, and nitrohexane, are calculated using the highly accurate complete basis set （CBS-Q） and the three hybrid density functional theory （DFT） methods B3LYP, B3PW91 and B3P86 with 6-31G^＊＊ basis set. By comparing the computed bond dissociation energies and experimental results, we find that the B3LYP/6-31G^＊＊ and B3PW91/6-31G^＊＊ methods are incapable of predicting the satisfactory bond dissociation energy （BDE）. However, B3P86/6-31G^＊＊ and CBS-Q computations are capable of giving the calculated BDEs, which are in extraordinary agreement with the experimental data. Nevertheless, since CBS-Q computational demands increase rapidly with the number of containing atoms in molecules, larger molecules soon become prohibitively expensive. Therefore, we suggest to take the B3P86/6-31G^＊＊ method as a reliable method of computing the BDEs for removal of the NO2 groups in the aliphatic nitro compounds.

The characteristics of doubly and triply charged ions C2^2＋, C2^2- and C2^3＋

Based on group theory and atomic and molecular reaction statics, this paper derives the possible electronic states of C^{2+}_2, C^{2-}_2 and C^{3+}_2, and their reasonable dissociation limits and determines their ground electronic states C^{2+}_2(X^3Π_u), C^{2-}_2(X^1Σ^+_g) and C^{3+}_2(X^4Σ^-_u) using quantum mechanical calculations at the level of QCISD/6-311G^*. All the potential energy curves of their ground states have both a minimum and a maximum, which are the so-called "energy trapped" molecules. This sort of potential maximum is chiefly due to Coulomb repulsion. We propose the perturbation effect of ionic charges, which is used to explain why the orbital degeneracy of diatomic ions may be removed. The characteristics of potential curves for diatomic ions are briefly described.     

Investigation of analytical harmonic frequency and potential energy function,vibrational levels for the X^2∑^＋ and A^2Л states of CN radical

This paper calculates the equilibrium structure and the potential energy functions of the ground state （X^2∑^＋） and the low lying excited electronic state （A^2Л） of CN radical are calculated by using CASSCF method. The potential energy curves are obtained by a least square fitting to the modified Murrell-Sorbie function. On the basis of physical theory of potential energy function, harmonic frequency （ωe） and other spectroscopic constants （ωeχe, βe and αe） are calculated by employing the Rydberg-Klei-Rees method. The theoretical calculation results are in excellent agreement with the experimental and other complicated theoretical calculation data. In addition, the eigenvalues of vibrational levels have been calculated by solving the radial one-dimensional SchrSdinger equation of nuclear motion using the algebraic method based on the analytical potential energy function.     

Ground state for CH2 and symmetry for methane decomposition

Using the different level of methods B3P86, BLYP, B3PW91, HF, QCISD、 CASSCF （4,4） and MP2 with the various basis functions 6-311G^＊＊, D95, cc-pVTZ and DGDZVP, the calculations of this paper confirm that the ground state is X^-3B1 with C2v group for CH2. Furthermore, the three kinds of theoretical methods, i.e. B3P86、 CCSD（T, MP4） and G2 with the same basis set cc-pVTZ only are used to recalculate the zero-point energy revision which are modified by scaling factor 0.989 for the high level based on the virial theorem, and also with the correction for basis set superposition error. These results are also contrary to X^-3∑^-g for the ground state of CH2 in reference. Based on the atomic and molecular reaction statics, this paper proves that the decomposition type （1） i.e. CH4 →CH2＋H2, is forbidden and the decomposition type （2） i.e. CH4→CHa＋H is allowed for CH4. This is similar to the decomposition of SiH4.     

Molecular opacities of low-lying states of oxygen molecule

The X~3∑_g~-,A'~3△_u,A~3∑_u~+,1~3Π_g,and B~3∑_u~-electronic states of oxygen molecule(O_2) are calculated by the multiconfiguration self-consisted filed(MRCI)+Q method with the scalar relativistic correction and core-valence correlation correction.The obtained spectroscopic constants of the low-lying bound states are in excellent agreement with measurements.Based on the accurately calculated structure parameters,the opacities of the oxygen molecule at the temperatures of 1000 K,2000 K,2500 K,and 5000 K under a pressure of 100 atm(1 atm=1.01325×10~5 Pa) and the partition functions between 10 K and 104 K are obtained.It is found that with the increase of temperature,the opacities for transitions in a long wavelength range are enlarged because of the larger population on excited electronic states at the higher temperatures.

Accurate calculation of the elastic scattering properties of ^7Li atoms at ultralow temperatures

The elastic scattering properties for collisions between two ^7Li atoms are investigated in the cold and ultracold regimes separately. Based on recent theoretical and experimental results, we present the improved hybrid potentials for the singlet X^1 ∑g^＋ and triplet a^3 ∑u^＋ ground states of the Li2, Our calculated values for the scattering lengths α and the effective ranges re are compared with previous ones, and found them to be in good agreement. The scattering lengths are 34.6α0 for the singlet state and -27.6α0 for the triplet state. Shape resonances occur in the collisions at low energies. We also calculate the total cross sections and the energy positions of shape resonances for both X^1 ∑g^＋ and a^3 ∑u^＋ states.     

Spin polarization effect for molecule Ta2

Density functional theory （DFT） （B3p86） has been used to optimize the structure of the molecule Ta2. The result shows that the ground state of molecule Ta2 is a 7-multiple state and its electronic configuration is ^7∑u^＋, which shows the spin polarization effect for molecule Ta2 of transition metal elements for the first time. Meanwhile, spin pollution has not been found because the wavefunction of the ground state does not mix with those of higher states. So, the fact that the ground state of molecule Ta2 is a 7-multiple state indicates a spin polarization effect of molecule Ta2 of the transition metal elements, i.e. there exist 6 parallel spin electrons and the non-conjugated electrons are greatest in number. These electrons occupy different space orbitals so that the energy of molecule Ta2 is minimized. It can be concluded that the effect of parallel spin of the molecule Ta2 is larger than the effect of the conjugated molecule, which is obviously related to the effect of d-electron delocalization. In addition, the Murrell-Sorbie potential functions with parameters for the ground state ^7∑u^＋ and other states of the molecule Ta2 are derived. The dissociation energy De, equilibrium bond length Re and vibration frequency we for the ground state of molecule Ta2 are 4.5513eV, 0.2433nm and 173.06cm^-1, respectively. Its force constants f2, f3 and f4 are 1.5965×10^2aJ.nm^-2, -6.4722×10^3aJ·nm^-3 and 29.4851×10^4aJ·nm^-4, respectively. Other spectroscopic data we xe, Be and αe for the ground state of Ta2 are 0.2078cm^-1, 0.0315 cm^-1 and 0.7858×10^-4 cm^-1, respectively.
