Abstract: | 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. |
