A three-dimensional He-NaH potential energy surface for rovibrational energy transfer studies

A three-dimensional potential energy surface for the He-NaH van der Waals complex is calculated at the coupled cluster singles-and-doubles with noniterative inclusion of connected triples [CCSD(T)] level of theory. Estimates of CCSD(T) interaction energies for an infinitely large basis set is obtained using a basis set extrapolation scheme. The He-NaH potential energy surface is much different than the He-LiH surface. In particular, the He-NaH system has a binding energy of De=19.73 cm(-1) in comparison to De=176.7 cm(-1) for He-LiH. These minima are at the theta=180 degrees linear geometry where the helium is located at the metal end of the metal hydride. The He-NaH and He-LiH potentials are very similar for the theta=0 degrees linear geometry. The He-NaH potential energy surface supports one vibrational bound state with E=-1.48 cm(-1). Since this energy is smaller than the accuracy of the potential energy surface, the existence of a bound He-NaH complex is questionable.     

The p-difluorobenzene-argon S1 excited state intermolecular potential energy surface

The first excited state (S1) intermolecular potential energy surface for the p-difluorobenzene-Ar van der Waals complex is evaluated using the coupled-cluster method and the augmented correlation consistent polarized valence double-zeta basis set extended with a set of 3s3p2d1f1g midbond functions. In order to calculate the S1 interaction energies we use the ground state surface evaluated with the same basis set and the coupled-cluster singles and doubles [CCSD] including connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] model, and interaction and excitation energies evaluated at the CCSD level. The surface minima are characterized by the Ar atom located above and below the p-difluorobenzene center of mass at a distance of 3.4736 A. The corresponding interaction energy is -435.233 cm-1. The surface is used in the evaluation of the intermolecular level structure of the complex.     

Ab initio and analytic intermolecular potentials for Ar-CF4

Ab initio calculations at the CCSD(T) level of theory were performed to characterize the Ar + CF4 intermolecular potential. Potential energy curves were calculated with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, and with and without a correction for basis set superposition error (BSSE). Additional calculations were performed with other correlation consistent basis sets to extrapolate the Ar-CF4 potential energy minimum to the complete basis set (CBS) limit. Both the size of the basis set and BSSE have substantial effects on the Ar + CF4 potential. Calculations with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set, and with a BSSE correction, appear to give a good representation of the BSSE corrected potential at the CBS limit. In addition, MP2 theory is found to give potential energies in very good agreement with those determined by the much higher level CCSD(T) theory. Two model analytic potential energy functions were determined for Ar + CF4. One is a fit to the aug-cc-pVTZ calculations with a BSSE correction. The second was derived by fitting an average BSSE corrected potential, which is an average of the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ potentials with and without a BSSE correction. These analytic functions are written as a sum of two-body potentials and excellent fits to the ab initio potentials are obtained by representing each two-body interaction as a Buckingham potential.     

Ab initio study of hydrazinyl radical: toward a DMBE potential energy surface

A series of stationary structures of the hydrazinyl radical have been characterized by optimization at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory. CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVXZ single-point calculations have also been carried out at the optimized geometries with basis sets of different cardinal numbers (X = T, Q), which were used to obtain accurate energies via extrapolation to the complete basis set limit. A discussion on the analytical modeling of the potential energy surface of hydrazinyl is also presented.     

Potential energy surface and rovibrational states of the ground Ar-HI complex

A potential energy surface for the ground electronic state of the Ar-HI van der Waals complex is calculated at the coupled-cluster with single and double excitations and a noniterative perturbation treatment of triple excitations [CCSD(T)] level of theory. Calculations are performed using for the iodine atom a correlation consistent triple-zeta valence basis set in conjunction with large-core Stuttgart-Dresden-Bonn relativistic pseudopotential, whereas specific augmented correlation consistent basis sets are employed for the H and Ar atoms supplemented with an additional set of bond functions. In agreement with previous studies, the equilibrium structure is found to be linear Ar-I-H, with a well depth of 205.38 cm(-1). Another two secondary minima are also predicted at a linear and bent Ar-H-I configurations with well depths of 153.57 and 151.57 cm(-1), respectively. The parametrized CCSD(T) potential is used to calculate rovibrational bound states of Ar-HI/Ar-DI complexes, and the vibrationally averaged structures of the different isomers are determined. Spectroscopic constants are also computed from the CCSD(T) surface and their comparison with available experimental data demonstrates the quality of the present surface in the corresponding configuration regions.     

F2 dimer: Improved intermolecular potential energy surface using ab initio calculations

A computational study on the intermolecular potential energy of 44 different orientations of F₂ dimers is presented. Basis set superposition error (BSSE) corrected potential energy surface is calculated using the supermolecular approach at CCSD(T) and QCISD(T) levels of theory. The interaction energies obtained using the aug‐cc‐pVDZ and aug‐cc‐pVTZ basis sets are extrapolated to the complete basis set limit using the latest extrapolation scheme. The basis set effect is checked and it is found that the extrapolated intermolecular energies provide the best compromise between the accuracy and computational cost. Among 1320 energy points of F₂–F₂ system covering more relative orientations, the most stable structure of the dimers was obtained with a well depth of ?146.62 cm^?1 that related to cross configuration, and the most unstable structure is related to linear orientation with a well depth of ?52.63 cm^?1. The calculated second virial coefficients are in good agreement with experimental data. The latest extrapolation scheme of the complete basis set limit at the CCSD(T) level of theory is used to determine the intermolecular potential energy surface of the F₂ dimer. Comparing the results obtained by the latest scheme with those by older schemes show that the new approach provides the best compromise between accuracy and computational cost.     

The fluorobenzene-argon S(1) excited-state intermolecular potential energy surface

We evaluate the first excited-state (S1) intermolecular potential energy surface for the fluorobenzene-Ar van der Waals complex using the coupled cluster method and the augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence double-zeta basis set extended with a set of 3s3p2d1f1g midbond functions. To calculate the S(1) interaction energies, we use ground-state interaction energies evaluated with the same basis set and the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) including connected triple excitations [CCSD(T)] model and interaction and excitation energies evaluated at the CCSD level. The surface minima are characterized by the Ar atom located above and below the fluorobenzene ring at a distance of 3.5060 A with respect to the fluorobenzene center of mass and at an angle of 5.89 degrees with respect to the axis perpendicular to the fluorobenzene plane. The corresponding interaction energy is -425.226 cm(-1). The surface is used in the evaluation of the intermolecular level structure of the complex, and the results are compared to the experimental data available and to those found in previous theoretical papers on ground-state potentials for similar complexes.
