Abstract
We present a formulation and implementation of second-order quasidegenerate N-electron valence perturbation theory (QDNEVPT2) that provides a balanced and accurate description of spin-orbit coupling and dynamic correlation effects in multiconfigurational electronic states. In our approach, the energies and wave functions of electronic states are computed by treating electron repulsion and spin-orbit coupling operators as equal perturbations to the nonrelativistic complete active-space wave functions, and their contributions are incorporated fully up to the second order. The spin-orbit effects are described using the Breit-Pauli (BP) or exact two-component Douglas-Kroll-Hess (DKH) Hamiltonians within spin-orbit mean-field approximation. The resulting second-order methods (BP2- and DKH2-QDNEVPT2) are capable of treating spin-orbit coupling effects in nearly degenerate electronic states by diagonalizing an effective Hamiltonian expanded in a compact non-relativistic basis. For a variety of atoms and small molecules across the entire periodic table, we demonstrate that DKH2-QDNEVPT2 is competitive in accuracy with variational two-component relativistic theories. BP2-QDNEVPT2 shows high accuracy for the second- and third-period elements, but its performance deteriorates for heavier atoms and molecules. We also consider the first-order spin-orbit QDNEVPT2 approximations (BP1- and DKH1-QDNEVPT2), among which DKH1-QDNEVPT2 is reliable but less accurate than DKH2-QDNEVPT2. Both DKH1- and DKH2-QDNEVPT2 hold promise as efficient and accurate electronic structure methods for treating electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling in a variety of applications.

Abstract
An extension of the exact two-component theory with atomic mean-field integrals (the X2CAMF scheme) to the treatment of the Breit term together with efficient implementation using an atomic Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hartree-Fock program is reported. The accuracy of the X2CAMF scheme for treating the contributions from the Breit term to the molecular properties is demonstrated using benchmark calculations of equilibrium bond lengths, harmonic frequencies, and dipole moments for molecules containing elements across the periodic table. Calculations of the properties for molecules containing period four elements aiming at high accuracy as well as for Th- and U-containing molecules are also presented and compared with experimental results to demonstrate the usefulness of the X2CAMF scheme in combination with accurate treatments of electron correlation by the coupled-cluster (CC) methods. The combination of CC methods and the X2CAMF scheme shows potential to extend the accuracy of CC calculations to heavy elements, e.g., to computational heavy-element thermochemistry.

Abstract
This work investigates the spectroscopic parameters, vibrational levels, and transition probabilities of 12 low-lying states, which are generated from the first dissociation limit, Br(2Pu) + O-(2Pu), of the BrO- anion. The 12 states are X1Σ+, 21Σ+, 11Σ-, 11Π, 21Π, 11Δ, a3Π, 13Σ+, 23Σ+, 13Σ-, 23Π, and 13Δ. The potential energy curves are calculated with the complete active-space self-consistent field method, which is followed by the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction approach with Davidson modification. The dissociation energy D0 of X1Σ+ state is determined to be approximately 26876.44 cm-1, which agrees well with the experimental one of 26494.50 cm-1. Of these 12 states, the 21Σ+, 11Σ-, 21Π, 11Δ, 13Σ+, 23Σ+, 23Π, and 13Δ states are very weakly bound states, whose well depths are only several-hundred cm-1. The a3Π, 23Π, and 13Δ states are inverted and account for the spin-orbit coupling effect. No states are repulsive regardless of whether the spin-orbit coupling effect is included. The spectroscopic parameters and vibrational levels are determined. The transition dipole moments of 12-pair electronic states are calculated. Franck-Condon factors of a number of transitions of more than 20-pair electronic states are evaluated. The electronic transitions are discussed. The spin-orbit coupling effect on the spectroscopic parameters and vibrational properties is profound for all the states except for X1Σ+, a3Π, and 11Π. The spectroscopic parameters and transition probabilities obtained in this paper can provide some powerful guidelines for observing these states in a proper spectroscopy experiment, in particular the states that have very shallow potential wells.

Abstract
The chloroniumyl cation, HCl+, has been recently identified in space from Herschel's spectra. A joint analysis of extensive vis-UV spectroscopy emission data together with a few high-resolution and high-accuracy millimiter-wave data provided the necessary rest frequencies to support the astronomical identification. Nevertheless, the analysis did not include any infrared (IR) vibration-rotation data. Furthermore, with the end of the Herschel mission, infrared observations from the ground may be one of the few available means to further study this ion in space. In this work, we provide a set of accurate rovibrational transition wavenumbers as well as a new and improved global fit of vis-UV, IR and millimiter-wave spectroscopy laboratory data, that will aid in future studies of this molecule.

Abstract
Rotational spectra of OH and its isotopologues have been precisely measured using high efficiency terahertz (THz) sources. The measurements are compared with existing data and are useful for global modeling. For the first time, microwave measurements of the Λ-doubling transitions of the (17)OH isotopologue are combined with THz data successfully. Precise rotational, fine-structure, and hyperfine structure parameters for the (17)OH isotopologue are reported. An isotopically independent Dunham model for all isotopologues of (2)Π OH v < 3 is presented.

Abstract
The microwave spectrum of the PBr radical in the X (3)Sigma(-) ground electronic state has been observed by a source modulated spectrometer. The PBr radical was generated in a free space cell by an acdc glow discharge in a mixture of PBr(3) with He andor H(2). A spectrum with three spin components for each of the two isotopomers, P(79)Br and P(81)Br, was observed. The spectrum showed hyperfine splitting caused by interactions due to both bromine and phosphorus nuclei. The molecular constants including the magnetic hyperfine and nuclear quadrupole hyperfine interaction constants were determined by analyzing the observed spectrum. The spin density of the unpaired electrons was estimated from the observed hyperfine coupling constants to be 85.4% and 16.3% on the phosphorus and bromine atoms, respectively.

Abstract
A coupled cluster composite approach has been used to accurately determine the spectroscopic constants, bond dissociation energies, and heats of formation for the X1(2)II(3/2) states of the halogen oxides ClO, BrO, and IO, as well as their negative ions ClO-, BrO-, and IO-. After determining the frozen core, complete basis set (CBS) limit CCSD(T) values, corrections were added for core-valence correlation, relativistic effects (scalar and spin-orbit), the pseudopotential approximation (BrO and IO), iterative connected triple excitations (CCSDT), and iterative quadruples (CCSDTQ). The final ab initio equilibrium bond lengths and harmonic frequencies for ClO and BrO differ from their accurate experimental values by an average of just 0.0005 A and 0.8 cm-1, respectively. The bond length of IO is overestimated by 0.0047 A, presumably due to an underestimation of molecular spin-orbit coupling effects. Spectroscopic constants for the spin-orbit excited X2(2)III(1/2) states are also reported for each species. The predicted bond lengths and harmonic frequencies for the closed-shell anions are expected to be accurate to within about 0.001 A and 2 cm-1, respectively. The dissociation energies of the radicals have been determined by both direct calculation and through use of negative ion thermochemical cycles, which made use of a small amount of accurate experimental data. The resulting values of D0, 63.5, 55.8, and 54.2 kcal/mol for ClO, BrO, and IO, respectively, are the most accurate ab initio values to date, and those for ClO and BrO differ from their experimental values by just 0.1 kcal/mol. These dissociation energies lead to heats of formation, DeltaH(f) (298 K), of 24.2 +/- 0.3, 29.6 +/- 0.4, and 29.9 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol for ClO, BrO, and IO, respectively. Also, the final calculated electron affinities are all within 0.2 kcal/mol of their experimental values. Improved pseudopotential parameters for the iodine atom are also reported, together with revised correlation consistent basis sets for this atom.

Abstract
Using a composite coupled cluster method employing sequences of correlation consistent basis sets for complete basis set (CBS) extrapolations and with explicit treatment of core-valence correlation and scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects, the 0 K enthalpies of a wide range of cadmium-halide reactions, namely, Cd + (HCl, HBr, ClO, BrO, Cl2, BrCl, Br2) have been determined to an estimated accuracy of +/-1 kcal/mol. In addition, accurate equilibrium geometries, harmonic frequencies, and dissociation energies have been calculated at the same level of theory for all the diatomic (e.g., CdH, CdO, CdCl, CdBr) and triatomic (CdHCl, CdHBr, CdClO, CdBrO, CdCl2, CdBrCl, CdBr2) species involved in these reactions, some for the very first time. Like their mercury analogues, all of the abstraction reactions are predicted to be endothermic, while the insertion reactions are strongly exothermic with the formation of stable linear, Cd-centric complexes. With the exception of CdH and the reactions involving this species, the present results for the remaining Cd-containing systems are believed to be the most accurate to date.

Abstract
The hydrates of bromine monoxide, BrO(H2O)n, n = 1-4, have been studied by means of ab initio calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. These systems could be formed in the troposphere and participate in chemical reactions involved in the depletion of ozone. Several conformations are obtained and discussed for each of the hydrates mentioned. Two rather different intermolecular interactions are found, namely, conventional hydrogen bonding and Br...O associations. In contrast with a more traditional point of view in which hydrogen bonds could be assumed as the preferential interaction for the formation of these complexes, it is the Br...O association which yields the most stable conformations. Equilibrium geometries, harmonic frequencies, and relative energies have been calculated for the bromine monoxide hydrates for the first time. The theoretical binding energies indicate that the stabilization of the hydrates increases with the number of water molecules added. Cooperative effects are suggested to play a significant role in this stabilization. An analysis of relevant properties depending on the electron density in the bond critical points of the Br...O associations has been done for the first time, showing characteristic features of this interaction in comparison with the hydrogen bonds formed.

Abstract
Bromine oxides have been generated by passing a mixture of Br(2)/O(2)/Ar through a microwave discharge. The products were stabilized at 6.5 K in an excess amount of argon. Infrared spectroscopy was used to analyze the species formed; experiments with enriched (18)O(2) and ab initio calculations were carried out to assist in the assignment of the spectra. Besides the known species BrO, OBrO, and BrBrO, spectroscopic evidence for BrOBrO, BrBrO(2), and a new isomer of Br(2)O(3) is reported for the first time. Extensive comparisons are drawn between the present studies and previous experimental and theoretical works. The chemistry involved in the production of the observed compounds is discussed. The assignments are corroborated by the good correlation between observed and calculated band positions and intensities.

Abstract
The enthalpies of formation of HOBr and HOCl have been estimated by employing coupled cluster theory in conjunction with the correlation consistent basis sets and corrections for core-valence, relativistic, and anharmonic effects. We have employed three different reactions to estimate the DeltaH(o)(f,298)(HOBr), namely, the atomization reaction and two homodesmic reactions. Our best estimation is DeltaH(o)(f,298) (HOBr) = -15.3 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol and is very likely to lie toward the more negative values. The present value is 1.4 kcal/mol lower than the widely used experimental determination of Ruscic and Berkowitz (J. Chem. Phys. 1994, 101, 7795), DeltaH(o)(f,298)(HOBr) > -13.93 +/- 0.42 kcal/mol. However, it is closer to the more recent measurement of Lock et al. (J. Phys. Chem. 1996, 100, 7972), DeltaH(o)(f,298)(HOBr) = -14.8 +/- 1 kcal/mol. In the case of HOCl we have determined DeltaH(o)(f,298)(HOCl) = -18.1 +/- 0.3 kcal/mol, just in the middle of the two experimental values proposed, -17.8 +/- 0.5 kcal/mol (JANAF), obtained from equilibrium constant measurements, and -18.36 +/- 0.03 kcal/mol (Joens, J. A. J. Phys. Chem. A 2001, 105, 11041), determined from the measurements of the Cl-OH bond energy. If our conclusions are correct, several enthalpies of formation that have been determined by experimental chemists, Orlando and Burholder (J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 1143), and theoretical chemists, Lee (J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 15074), need to be revised, since a larger value was used for DeltaH(o)(f,298)(HOBr). Employing the results obtained by Orlando and Burkholder for Br(2)O we propose DeltaH(o)(f,298)(Br(2)O) = 24.9 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol, and employing Lee's enthalpies of reaction we propose the following DeltaH(o)(f,298): for BrBrO, HBrO, ClOBr, ClBrO, BrClO, BrCN, BrNC, BrNO, BrON, FOBr, and FBrO, 39.5 +/- 1, 41.0 +/- 1, 22.7 +/- 1.5, 34.2 +/- 1.5, 40.9 +/- 1.5, 43.7 +/- 1.5, 80.1 +/- 1.5, 22.3 +/- 1, 46.2 +/- 1, 17.3 +/- 1.5, and 6.3 +/- 1.5 kcal/mol, respectively. We expect that this work will stimulate new experimental measurements of the thermodynamic properties of HOBr and HOCl.

Abstract
The pure rotational spectra of seven isotopic species of platinum monoxide have been measured with a cavity pulsed jet Fourier-transform microwave spectrometer. The molecules were prepared by laser ablation of Pt foil in the presence of O2 and stabilized in a supersonic jet of argon. A multi-isotopomer Dunham-type analysis of the spectra produced values for Y01 and Y11, along with unusually large values for Born-Oppenheimer breakdown (BOB) parameters for both Pt and O atoms. The values of the BOB parameters have been rationalized in terms of the molecular electronic structure and finite nuclear size (field shift) effects. A large negative 195Pt effective nuclear spin-rotation constant has been rationalized in terms of the electron-nucleus dipole-dipole hyperfine constant. Precise internuclear separations have been evaluated.

Abstract
A number of bromine oxides and mixed chlorinebromine oxides for which spectroscopic information is available have been chosen to investigate the nature and characteristics of the BrO bond. The study consists of the empirical determination of stretching force constants for these bonds from observed vibrational spectroscopic data and the analysis of the topological characteristics of the bonds via ab initio calculations. The latter have been performed at the MP2 level with a 6-311+G(2df) basis set, to provide a uniform and systematic framework for comparing these species. Three types of BrO bonds have been found, with different characteristics of strength and electron density. The results are compared with those recently found for the ClO bond in chlorine oxides.Key words: bromine oxides, bond electronic structure.

Abstract
The pure rotational spectrum of cis-cis peroxynitrous acid, HOONO, has been observed. Over 220 transitions, sampling states up to J'=67 and Ka'=31, have been fitted with an rms uncertainty of 48.4 kHz. The experimentally determined rotational constants agree well with ab initio values for the cis-cis conformer, a five-membered ring formed by intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The small, positive inertial defect Delta=0.075667(60) amu A2 and lack of any observable torsional splittings in the spectrum indicate that cis-cis HOONO exists in a well-defined planar structure at room temperature.

Abstract
Pure rotational transitions of the chlorine monoxide radical have been observed up to v=2 in the X(1) (2)Pi(3/2) and X(2) (2)Pi(1/2) states and transitions of the (35)Cl(18)O isotopomer have been observed in natural abundance. Additionally, rotational transitions for levels up to J'=115/2 have been measured in the far infrared. These data have been merged with the existing microwave, submillimeter, and high-resolution infrared transition frequencies and fit simultaneously with a set of isotopically independent parameters. Isotopic substitution of both the Cl and O atoms has enabled the first determination of the electron spin-rotation constant gamma=-296.0(43) MHz as well as the Born-Oppenheimer corrections to the rotational constants.

Abstract
The X(1)(2)Pi(3/2) and X(2)(2)Pi(1/2) potential energy curves of the FO free radical have been determined from a fit to the available high-resolution spectroscopic data. The data set spans the vibrational states v = 0-7 and includes X(2)(2)Pi(1/2) <-- X(1)(2)Pi(3/2) fine-structure transitions. The determinable spectroscopic constants provide an excellent description of the equilibrium properties of both the X(1) and X(2) states in addition to the vibrational dependence of the spin-orbit coupling constant. The experimental properties of FO are used to evaluate the performance of different ab initio methods for describing the F-O bond. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.
