Abstract: | The SCF potential surface of the ground state for NO2 was calculated by using program JAMOL 3. The McLean–Loew–Berkowitz CGTO 's were used as basis functions. One of the two N? O distance R is fixed to 2.25 a.u. and the other one r and the ONO angle θ are varied from 2.25 to 5.0 a.u. and from 0° to 180°, respectively. The potential surface has the minimum around r = 2.50 a.u. and θ = 120°, where the energy is found to be ?203.954 a.u. |
