| Abstract: | Ionizations and some lower singlet valence and Rydberg excitations of naphthalene are studied by the SAC/SAC CI method with 100 (44 π + 56 σ) active MOs. A systematic assignment of the ionization spectra is given. In particular, assignments are given for the peaks in the 13–20 eV region. A large σ-electron correlation effect is found for the valence excited B1u state, together with a large effect of the dπ polarization function. The controversy concerning the assignment of the Rydberg ndπ orbitals is resolved: Robin's assignment of the 3dπ orbital at 6.73 eV above the ground state is supported. |
