DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY STUDIES OF SPECTROSCOPIC CONSTANTS AND ANHARMONIC FORCE FIELD OF O35ClO

The equilibrium structure, spectroscopy constants and anharmonic force field of O35ClO have been calculated at B3PW91 and B3LYP levels of theory with two basis sets 6-311++G(2df,2pd) and 6-311++G(3df,3pd) , respectively. The computed geometries, dipole moment, rotational constants, vibration–rotation interaction constants, vibrational band origins, anharmonic constants, quartic, and sextic centrifugal distortion constants are compared with the available experimental data. The cubic and quartic force constants are predicted. The calculated results show that the B3PW91 results are in excellent agreement with experiment and represent a substantial improvement over the results obtained from B3LYP.

THE STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE GROUND- AND LOW-LYING EXCITED STATES OF ASH2, ${\rm ASH}_{2}^{+}$ AND ${\rm ASH}_{2}^{-}$

The properties of the ground and excited states of AsH2 , [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been investigated by using symmetry-adapted-cluster (SAC)/symmetry-adapted-cluster configuration interaction (SAC-CI) method. The geometry of the ground state of AsH2 is optimized at SAC method with different basis sets. The calculated results with cc-pVTZ and cc-pVQZ basis sets are in very good agreement with the experimental and previous theoretical data. The geometry and the properties of eight low-lying electronic excited states of AsH2 are obtained at SAC-CI/cc-pVTZ and SAC-CI/cc-pVQZ level, including geometries, vertical excitation energies, adiabatic excitation energies, transition dipole moments, and oscillation strengths. Employing the same theoretical level as AsH2 , the geometries, adiabatic ionization potentials (AIPs), and vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) of the ground and eight low-lying electronic states of [Formula: see text] are investigated as well as the geometries, vertical detachment energies (VDEs) and adiabatic detachment energies (ADEs) of nine electronic states of [Formula: see text]. Comparing with the available experimental or previous theoretical data, the SAC/SAC-CI/cc-pVTZ and SAC/SAC-CI/cc-pVQZ results are reliable for AsH2 , [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The predicted results can afford the useful information for one to deeply investigate them from the spectral experiment.
