description

Abstract Ab initio and diatomics-in-ionic-systems (DIIS) calculations are carried out for the C 2 –Kr pair and C 2 –Kr n clusters, respectively. Energetics and transition dipole moments between the ground and excited states are obtained from the calculations. This data is then used to predict the UV charge transfer absorption spectrum of C 2 embedded in Kr n clusters with n  = 1, 12, and 224. The results reveal discrete structure in the computed UV spectrum, which is mainly related to the spin–orbit splitting of Kr + .
