Abstract: | Stability, spectroscopic constants, and dissociation of CO2+ have been studied in detail using ab initio MP2, CCSD and CCSD(T) methods, and density functional B3LYP method. The stability and the ambiguity between the ground and metastable state of the molecular dication have been discussed. The spectroscopic constants of the molecular dication have been compared with the experimental and theoretical values wherever available. Various charge symmetric and charge asymmetric dissociation pathways of CO2+ have been investigated. After dissociation, the fragmented atoms and ions are considered to be either in their ground or in their metastable state. Interesting results have been obtained for the charge symmetric and charge asymmetric dissociation of the diatomic dication. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2009 |
