CASPT2 and CCSD(T) calculations of dipole moments and polarizabilities of acetone in excited states

The acetone molecule is investigated in its ground state and valence ^1,3n-π*, ^1,3π-π*, and ^1,3σ-π* excited states and Rydberg ^1,3n-3s, ^1,3π-3?, ^1,3n-3p_y and ^1,3π-3p_y states using the CASSCF, CASPT2, and CCSD(T) methods. Equilibrium geometries of excited states are obtained and their changes with respect to the ground state are discussed. For most excited states the C_2v symmetry of the ground state is lowered to the C_s symmetry. A series of valence vertical and adiabatic excitation energies is presented along with excitation energies for Rydberg states. The main body of the paper contains Finite-Field Perturbation Theory (FFPT) calculations of electric properties of the vertically as well as geometry relaxed excited states. Dipole moments of valence excited states decrease significantly upon excitation, being about one half of the ground state dipole moment. Polarizabilities usually change upon excitation much less (increase by about 30%) but hyperpolarizabilities are enhanced up to one or two orders of magnitude. The orientation of the dipole moment is reversed in some vertically excited Rydberg states. Properties of the ground and excited states are discussed considering alterations of the electronic structure and shifts in the geometry.     

The ClO4 radical: a theoretical study on ground and excited states

In agreement with previous studies, the ground state of ClO₄ has been confirmed to be X²B₁. Vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths were calculated by MRCI methods for doublet and quartet states of ClO₄. The highest oscillator strength was found for 1²A₁ at 2.95 eV. This state has been identified as the upper state seen by Kopitzky and co-workers in the absorption spectrum of ClO₄. Two higher states, 2²A₁ and 3²A₁, at 4.19 and 8.12 eV, respectively, also have relatively high oscillator strengths. Rydberg states start at about 9.5 eV. Geometry optimizations were performed by DFT and CCSD(T) methods. After extensive testing, the B3LYP density functional, together with the 6-311 + G(3df) basis set were chosen for calculations. Optimized geometries of seven excited states were obtained. The adiabatic excitation energy of 1²A₁ (2.40 eV) agrees closely with the observed band origin at 2.46 eV. Three excited states have one or two imaginary vibrational modes. Electron affinity and heat of formation of ClO₄ agree with literature values. None of the quartet states was found to be stable.     

Einstein<Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>-coefficients for rotational transitions in the ring-chain isomer of C<Subscript>5</Subscript>H<Subscript>2</Subscript>

Laboratory formation of four isomers of C⁵H² molecule is reported and detection of the ring-chain isomer (isomer 1) of C₅H₂ in cosmic objects has been suggested. For identification of a molecule in cosmic objects, one of the required input data is EinsteinA-coefficients (radiative transition probabilities) for the molecule. Here, we report EinsteinA-coefficients for electric dipole transitions in the ring-chain isomer of C₅H₂ among the rotational levels of the ground electronic and ground vibrational states up to 21 cm⁻¹.

Analytical potential energy functions for the ground and some excited states of N2

The analytical potential energy functions have been calculated for the ground state X¹Σ⁺_g and four excited electronic states a¹Π_g, A³Σ⁺_u, B′³Σ^?_u and B³Π_g of N₂ molecule using the algebraic and energy-consistent methods (AM-ECM). Based on our previously published full AM vibrational energies and spectroscopic constants, the low-lying force constants f_n, the expansion coefficients a_n and the variational parameters λ in the AM–ECM potentials are determined for these states. The computed AM–ECM potential energy curve of each state is in excellent agreement with the experimental data and better than other analytical potentials.

Investigation of the electronic structure of Be2+He and Be+He,and static dipole polarisabilities of the helium atom

The potential energy and spectroscopic constants of the ground and many excited states of the Be⁺He van der Waals system have been investigated using a one-electron pseudo-potential approach, which is used to replace the effect of the Be²⁺ core and the electron-He interactions by effective potentials. Furthermore, the core–core interactions are incorporated. This permits the reduction of the number of active electrons of the Be⁺He van der Waals system to only one electron. Therefore, the potential energy of the ground state as well as the excited states is performed at the SCF level and considering the spin–orbit interaction. The core–core interaction for Be²⁺He ground state is included using accurate CCSD (T) calculations. Then, the spectroscopic properties of the Be⁺He electronic states are extracted and compared with the previous theoretical and experimental studies. This comparison has shown a very good agreement for the ground and the first excited states. Moreover, the transition dipole moment has been determined for a large and dense grid of internuclear distances including the spin orbit effect. In addition, a vibrational spacing analysis for the Be²⁺He and Be⁺He ground states is performed to extract the He atomic polarisability.     

Pt-Re small cluster interaction with H2

The interaction of small Pt-Re clusters with H₂ is reported here through ab initio multicon-figuration self-consistent field (MC-SCF) calculations, plus extensive multireference configuration interaction (MR-CI), variational and perturbative calculations. These calculations provide a cluster model for the activation of hydrogen by Pt-Re bimetallic catalysts. It was found that the ⁶S(5d⁵6s²) Re atom ground state needs an important activation to induce very weak capture of separated hydrogen atoms, whereas in the lowest excited states the activation energies are small or zero, with a very reasonable depth of well. The four lowest states of Pt-Re were found to be ⁴ Σ⁺, ⁶Π_yz, ^{Σ +} and ⁶Π_xz. Pt-Re interaction with H₂ has been studied from both metal ‘sides’. It was established that Pt-Re with the platinum side in the ground electronic ⁴Σ⁺ state and in the lowest ⁶Π⁺ excited states is able to capture H₂ molecules without activation, whereas in the ⁶Π_yz and ⁶Π_xz excited states there is no capture. The rhenium side of Pt-Re in its four lowest states considered cannot capture the H₂ molecule. The interaction of Pt₂-Re with H₂ was studied also. For the ground ²B₂ electronic state and the low lying ²A₁ electronic state the platinum moiety can spontaneously capture and break H₂. The rhenium side of Pt₂-Re(B₂), however, can capture H₂ only after surmounting a small barrier, and the excited Pt₂-Re(²A₁) can spontaneously capture H₂. For Pt₂-Re in its low lying ⁴A₁ electronic state both metal sides capture and break H₂ after surmounting a small barrier.     

A theoretical study on the kinetics of multichannel Multiwell reaction of H2S(1A1) with HO2(2A′′)

The mechanism and kinetics of the reaction of hydrogen sulphide (H₂S(¹A₁)) with hydroperoxyl radical (HO₂(²A″)) on the lowest doublet potential energy surface have been theoretically studied. The potential energy surface for possible pathways has been investigated by employing Complete Basis Set (CBS), DFT, and CCSD(T) methods. Three possible pathways are suggested for the title reaction. The most probable entrance channel consists of formation of a hydrogen-bonded pre-reaction complex (vdw1) and two energised intermediates. Multichannel RRKM-Steady State Approximation and CVT calculations have been carried out to compute the rate constants over a broad range of temperature from 200?K to 3000?K to cover the atmospheric and combustion conditions and pressure from 0.1 to 2000?Torr. No sign of pressure dependence was observed for the title reaction over the stated range of pressure. We have shown that the major products of the title reaction are H₂O₂ and SH while at higher temperatures, formation of the other products such as H₂O, HOS, HSOH and OH are feasible, too. Our calculated overall rate constant is in agreement with the reported experimental data in the literature.     

Additivity and non-additivity of dissociation energies in intermolecular interactions. Theoretical studies on (H2)n,n = 2-8, (CO2)n,n = 2-6 and (HF)n,n = 2-8

CCSD(T) and MP2 results using the aug-cc-pV5Z basis set are reported for chain, cyclic and other structures of the clusters (H₂)_n, n?=?2-8, (CO₂)_n, n?=?2-6 and (HF)_n, n?=?2-8. In chain-like structures of (H₂)_n and (CO₂)_n, with the bonding type of the dimer maintained, the dissociation energy D_e of the dimer doubles for the trimer, triples for the tetramer, and so on. Due to these systems being dominated by short-range forces, interactions are essentially restricted to neighbouring monomers. For other types of (H₂)_n and (CO₂)_n structures, the multipliers relative to the dimerisation energy can be much higher. Dissociation energies for the hexamers in S₆ symmetry of both H₂ (379?cm^?1) and CO₂ (4925?cm^?1) are over ten times the respective dimerisation energies. For the chain-like trimer of HF, however, D_e is in excess of double the dimer value. Mainly due to longer-range dipolar forces, the interactions reach beyond the neighbouring monomers. The interaction energy between HF monomers in chains follows an approximate R^?2 (R being the F–F distance) relationship, The calculated dissociation energies of the HF octamer are 15,985?cm^?1 (factor of 10.4) for the chain, and 21,003?cm^?1 (factor of 13.7) for the C_6h cyclic structure.

Optical spectroscopy of Mn2+ ions in CaCl2 single crystals

Abstract

In the present investigation the excitation and fluorescence spectra and lifetimes of Mn²⁺ ions in calcium chloride, for various manganese concentrations and sample temperatures have been studied for the first time. The fluorescence spectrum consists of an asymmetric broad band, which upon lowering the sample temperature, shifts its maximum from 580 nm at 300 K to 596 nm at 11 K. This luminescence band was associated with the ⁴T_lg(⁴G)→⁶A_lg(⁶S) spin-forbidden transition in the manganese ions occupying Ca-sites in the lattice of CaCl₂. The excitation spectrum of the Mn²⁺ fluorescence revealed the features of manganese ions in octahedral coordination and consisted of nine excitation peaks which were associated with Mn²⁺-crystal-field-sensitive transitions. A crystal field analysis of the wavelength positions of these transitions by means of the model developed by Curie et al. allowed us to determine the magnitude of the cubic field splitting 10Dq, the reduced Racah parameter B', the Koide-Pryce covalency parameter ε and the spin transfer coefficients f _[sgrave] and f _σ. From the measurement of the temperature dependence of the Mn²⁺ fluorescence lifetime, we have also obtained information about the different mechanisms which are involved in the relaxation of excited Mn²⁺ ions in this host crystal in the temperature range (11–300 K).

Relation between electronic structure and the chemiluminescence arising from collisions between alkaline earth atoms and halogen molecules

The chemiluminescence ascribed by Jonah and Zare to radiative association of Ba and Cl₂ is examined in the light of the electronic structure of the ground and excited states of alkaline earth dihalides. A simple discussion is first given in terms of the possible curve crossings and avoided crossings. In addition ab initio self-consistent-field calculations are reported for CaF₂ using an extended basis set. The ¹ B ₂ excited state, from which the molecule may radiate to the ground state, is predicted to have an equilibrium bond angle of 54° and bond distance of 4·06 bohr. The bertical excitation energy to the ¹ B ₂ state is 7·3 eV and the vertical energy difference (¹ A ₁-¹ B ₂) at the ¹ B ₂ equilibrium geometry is 1·3 eV. These results appear consistent with the model proposed by Jonah and Zare. In addition, a variety of properties (dipole moments, field gradients, etc). of CaF₂ are reported.

Ab initio calculations on the ground and excited states of InI

Potential energy curves (PECs) of the ground and the low-lying excited states of the InI molecule are computed using the internally contracted multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction with the Davidson correction (ic-MR-CISD + Q) method based on the relativistic effective core potentials (RECPs). The spectroscopic constants are obtained, including the excitation energy (T _e), the equilibrium bond distance (R _e), the dipole moment (μ_e) and the vibrational constants (ω_e and ω_e). Finally, we predict the transition dipole moments, the radiative lifetimes, and the Franc-Condon factors for the transitions of A³Π₀+ ? X¹Σ₀ ⁺ and B³Π^l ? X¹Σ₀ ⁺,. The results reveal that A³Π₀+ and B³Π_l are long-lived states with the lifetimes being of the order of microseconds.
