Abstract: | The geometrical structure and the vibrational spectrum of the LiClO3 molecule are studied by the Hartree-Fock-Roothaan (HF) and configurational interaction (CI) methods taking into account single
and double excitations and Davidson's correction for quadruple excitations. Double-zeta basis sets of Huzinaga-Dunning and
McLean-Chandler complemented with polarization and diffuse functions are used. Potential surface sections corresponding to
migration of the Li+ cation around the ClO
3
−
fragment are investigated. It was found that the LiClO3 molecule has a single stable configuration of Cs symmetry with the bidentate coordination of the Li+ cation by the ClO
3
−
anion. The cyclic fragment
is nonplanar (the dihedral angle θ(LiO2Cl)=173°). The tridentate configuration of C3v symmetry lies higher than the equilibrium configuration by 24.5 (HF) or 18.3 (CI) kJ/mole and is not an isomer. The ab initio
force field of the molecule was refined by the scaling method. Some assignments of the IR bands of the matrix-isolated molecular
forms existing in vapor over lithium chlorate are corrected. The vibration frequencies (cm−1) and IR intensities (km/mole; in parentheses) are calculated with the refined force field: A′ type 1099(236), 856(81), 630(73),
557(119), 481(87), 156(66); A″ type 887(229), 459(35), 367(23).
