Abstract
In this paper, the ground and excited states of N2O2 were studied at the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) level of theory with Dunning's [J. Chem. Phys. 90, 1007 (1985); 96, 6796 (1992)] correlation consistent basis sets augo-cc-pVDZ and aug-cc-pVTZ. The geometry optimizations were performed for the ground state of N2O2. The vertical excitation energies and transition moments were calculated for the low-lying singlet states of N2O2 including the lowest three 1A1 states, two 1B1 states, one 1B2 state, and two 1A2 states at the MRCI level of theory with Dunning's correlation consistent basis sets aug-cc-pVDZ, aug-cc-pVTZ, and aug-cc-pVQZ. Furthermore, for the first time, the potential energy curves were calculated at the complete active space self-consistent-field and MRCI levels of theory for as many as 12 N2O2 singlet electronic states along the N-N distance. The dissociation asymptotes of these 12 N2O2 singlet electronic states were discussed.
