description

Abstract Various ab initio CI treatments are reported for the 3 Σ − g , 1 Δ g and 1 Σ + g states of O 2 with particular emphasis on the agreement obtained between calculated and experimental results for binding energies and bond distances of these species and also for transition energies between them. The utility of off-center s and p gaussians in describing the bonding process is stressed and the possibility of optimizing the configurations used in the calculations at each internuclear distance is considered.
