Abstract
Potential energy surfaces for the group 11 trimers were generated at various levels of coupled-cluster theory to examine the effects of Jahn-Teller distortions. Our calculations show that the lowest-energy conformer for Cu3, Ag3, and Au3 is the 2B2 (∼65° isomer) without spin-orbit corrections. Spin-orbit corrections have negligible contributions to the relative energies for the angle dependence of the potential energy surfaces for Cu3 and Ag3. The inclusion of spin-orbit corrections for Au3 makes the 2B2 (∼65°) and 2A1 (∼55°) states approximately degenerate. A novel 2B2 isomer of Au3 at an obtuse angle of ∼125° was also characterized, providing evidence for bond angle isomerism on the same 2B2 potential energy surface. Spin-orbit corrections increase the barrier height between the 2B2 (65°) and 2B2 (125°) bond angle isomers of Au3. The calculated symmetric stretch vibrational frequencies are in good agreement with the available experimental values. All frequencies calculated for the Au3 2B2 (∼125°) state are real, and there is at least one bound bending vibration for this state. Jahn-Teller parameters are also derived for each trimer.

Abstract
Extensive ab initio calculations were performed for the X2E' and A2E" states of Ag3, using a newly constructed basis set for Ag. An important goal of these calculations is to guide the analysis of the experimentally observed A 2E"-X2E' electronic spectrum. Vibrational frequencies of Ag(3) for both the X and A states are reported. Spectroscopically obtainable parameters describing the Jahn-Teller effect are calculated for the X and A states. The magnitude of the spin-orbit effects for this relativistic system was also calculated for the X2E' and A 2E" states. Using all this information, the X-A electronic spectrum is predicted for Ag(3). Additionally, the geometries and symmetries of the global minima and saddle points as well as the barrier to pseudorotation around the moat of the potential energy surface are determined for both states.

Abstract
Density-functional theory has been used to determine the ground-state geometries and electronic states for homonuclear transition-metal trimers constrained to equilateral triangle geometries. This represents the first application of consistent theoretical methods to all of the ten 3d block transition-metal trimers, from scandium to zinc. A search of the potential surfaces yields the following electronic ground states and bond lengths: Sc3(2A1',2.83 A), Ti3(7E',2.32 A), V3(2E",2.06 A), Cr3(17E',2.92 A), Mn3(16A2',2.73 A), Fe3(11E",2.24 A), Co3(6E",2.18 A), Ni3(3A2",2.23 A), Cu3(2E',2.37 A), and Zn3(1A1',2.93 A). Vibrational frequencies, several low-lying electronic states, and trends in bond lengths and atomization energies are discussed. The predicted dissociation energies DeltaE(M3-->M2+M) are 49.4 kcal mol(-1)(Sc3), 64.3 kcal mol(-1)(Ti3), 60.7 kcal mol(-1)(V3), 11.5 kcal mol(-1)(Cr3), 32.4 kcal mol(-1)(Mn3), 61.5 kcal mol(-1)(Fe3), 78.0 kcal mol(-1)(Co3), 86.1 kcal mol(-1)(Ni3), 26.8 kcal mol(-1)(Cu3), and 4.5 kcal mol(-1)(Zn3).

Abstract
The Born-Oppenheimer potential energy hypersurfaces of copper and gold trimers were calculated using density functional theory with an analytic potential. The calculated Jahn-Teller distortion energies, pseudorotation barriers, dissociation, and isomerization energies for the two trimers are discussed. Global minima from the surfaces were optimized using the density functional theory method as well as the coupled cluster-singles-doubles-with-triples energies technique. The agreement of the optimized structures with the analytic potential was very good. The Mulliken population analysis compared favorably with the experimental electron spin resonance results. Spin-orbit coupling was subsequently included and the effect was significant for gold, but negligible for copper. The spin-orbit effect suppressed the Jahn-Teller distortion of the gold trimer, and the potential surface with the spin-orbit effect included was also obtained. The spin-orbit splitting for the D(3h) geometry of the gold trimer was in excellent agreement with the most recent infrared spectroscopic results.

Abstract
A sophisticated adiabatic ground electronic state potential energy surface for a pure nitrogen ring (cyclic-N3) molecule is constructed based on extensive high-level ab initio calculations and accurate three-dimensional spline representation. Most of the important features of the potential energy surface are presented using various reduced dimensionality slices in internal hyperspherical coordinates as well as full dimensional isoenergy surfaces. Very significant geometric phase effects are predicted in the spectra of rotational-vibrational states of cyclic-N3.
