Abstract: | Cross-sections of the potential energy hypersurfaces are reported for the four lower-lying states of the H2O+ molecular ion. The symmetric dissociation of the ion has been investigated using the CNDO/2 method supplemented by a configuration interaction calculation. Self-consistent-field wave functions were calculated for the asymmetric dissociation using an extended basis of Gaussian-lobe functions. The values of the hydrogen exponents are found to be very sensitive to the molecular geometry. The calculated equilibrium H-O-H angle is 123° in the X?2B1 state, nearly 180° in the X?A2A1 state and 69° in the B?2B2 state. The lower-lying quartet á 4B1 is line entirely repulsive. The potential energy surface of the à 2A1 state has a peculiar shape, characterized by two dissociation valleys. |
