A theoretical study of the electronic spectrum of styrene
1999
Abstract The electronic spectrum of styrene has been studied by using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). The study includes geometry optimization of the ground state, the lowest triplet state, and the lowest singlet excited state. The covalent 2 1 A ′ state placed vertically at 4.34 eV is assigned to the first band. The 1 1 A ′→3 1 A ′ transition located at 4.97 eV is responsible for the second band. The most intense feature involves the 5 1 A ′ state, which is calculated to lie 6.19 eV above the ground state. The lowest singlet–singlet Rydberg transition (3s) is predicted to occur at 5.85 eV.
Excited state dipole moments and polarizabilities of centrosymmetric and dimeric molecules. I. Model study of a bichromophoric molecule
1988
Abstract Refractometric, dielectric and electro-optical absorption measurements are reported for 1-dimethylamino-2,6-dicyano-4-methyl-benzene (I) and 1,4-bis(4′-dimethylamino-3′,5′-dicyanophenyl)bicyclo[2.2.2]octane (II). The evaluation leads to dipole moments and polarizabilities of the ground state as well as the first dipole allowed singlet state. The experimental res excellently substantiate the method of electro-optical absorption measurements in solution. It is shown that the excited dimer wavefunctions of the bichromophoric molecule II localize by solvent induced local site perturbations.
The equilibrium structure of trans-glyoxal from experimental rotational constants and calculated vibration–rotation interaction constants
2003
A total of six high-resolution FT-IR spectra for trans-glyoxal-d2, trans-glyoxal-d1 and trans-glyoxal-13C2 were recorded with a resolution ranging from 0.003 to 0.004 cm−1. By means of a simultaneous ground state combination difference analysis for each of these isotopologues using the Watson Hamiltonian in A-reduction and Ir-representation the ground state rotational constants are obtained. An empirical equilibrium structure is determined for trans-glyoxal using these experimental ground state rotational constants and vibration–rotation interaction constants calculated at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level of theory. The least-squares fit yields the following structural parameters for trans-glyoxal…
Extended Fourier-transform spectroscopy studies and deperturbation analysis of the spin-orbit coupled A1Σ+ and b3Π states in RbCs.
2014
The article presents a study of the strongly spin-orbit coupled singlet A(1)Σ(+) and triplet b(3)Π states of the RbCs molecule, which provide an efficient optical path to transfer ultracold molecules to their rovibrational ground state. Fourier-transform A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π → X(1)Σ(+) and (4)(1)Σ(+) → A(1)Σ(+) - b(3)Π laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra were recorded for the natural mixture of the (85)Rb(133)Cs and (87)Rb(133)Cs isotopologues produced in a heat pipe oven. Overall 8730 rovibronic term values of A(1)Σ(+) and b(3)Π states were determined with an uncertainty of 0.01 cm(-1) in the energy range [9012, 14087] cm(-1), covering rotational quantum numbers J ∈ [6, 324]. An energy-ba…
Theoretical spectroscopic parameters of the alkali monofluorides LiF, NaF and KF
1992
Abstract Multireference configuration interaction and second-order perturbation theory are used to determine accurate spectroscopic parameters for the ground state of the alkali monofluorides from LiF to KF. Systematic saturation of the spdf subspaces of the atomic basis sets for the electron affinity of fluorine and the ionization potential of the metals have been shown to be more efficient than for the approximate dissociation energies in the molecule. the calculated rotational and vibrational constants and transitions for the three systems show excellent agreement with the expeirmental data.
An MO study of neutral C8 high-symmetry clusters
1997
Abstract Highly symmetric octacarbon clusters, i.e. a cube (O h ), a twisted cube (T d ), a tricyclic cage (C 3v ) and a planar (D 4h ) structure, were fully optimized at the HF, B3LYP and MP2(Full) levels of theory. These stationary points were shown to be local minima on the potential energy surface by frequency calculations. The stability of these clusters compared to the cyclic planar (C 4h ) ground state was found to be strongly dependent on the level of theory. MP2(Full) calculations suggest that cubic C 8 is a local minimum, its energy being 273 kJ/mol higher than the ground state. Structural parameters and fundamental vibrations are presented.
The infrared spectrum of CH 3 D between 900 and 3200 cm −1 : extended assignment and modeling
2000
Abstract The high resolution infrared spectrum of CH 3 D in the region from 900 to 3200 cm −1 has been analyzed on the basis of Fourier transform spectra recorded at Kitt Peak and at Giessen. A theoretical model for an effective hamiltonian in terms of irreducible tensor operators recently adapted to symmetric top molecules has been used in order to consider simultaneously all available transitions between the lowest three polyads of the molecule: the Ground State (G.S.), the Triad (three interacting fundamental bands in the 8 μm region) and the Nonad (nine interacting bands in the 4 μm region). A preliminary simultaneous fit of 3467 Triad–G.S., 5208 Nonad–G.S., and 2487 Nonad–Triad (hot ba…
MCSCF determination of the KO molecule ground state.
1992
Abstract Ab initio calculations at the MC/CASSCF level are used to determine in an accurate way the nature and position of the ground state of the KO molecule. The characteristic 2 Π and 2 Σ + alkali monoxide ionic states show a theoretical energy separation of about 0.04 eV, which produces opposite results by authors in favour of one or the other symmetry. We test the basis set dependence and active space dependence of the calculated energetical ordering of both states, with an extensive study of the active orbitais selection; the results show a ground state of 2 Σ + symmetry.
The first member of a second generation family of ligands derived from metal-ion assisted reactivity of di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine: Synthesis…
2012
Abstract Nucleophilic attack by the carbanion −CH2COCH3 at the carbonyl carbon atoms of 2,6-di-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine, pyCOpyCOpy, in the presence of Mnn+ ions under basic conditions has yielded the cationic cluster [Mn4(OH)2(L)2(H2O)2](ClO4)4 (1), where L2− is the (py)C(CH2COCH3)(O−)(py)C(CH2COCH3)(O−)(py) dianion. The cluster cation possesses a planar {MnII2MnIII2(μ3-OH)2(μ-OR)4}4+ rhombus core, resulting from two μ3-OH− ions and two η1:η2:η1:η1:η1:η2:η1:μ3 bridging L2− groups from the in situ formed ligand. Complex 1 is antiferromagnetically coupled with an unusual S = 2 ground state resulting from spin frustration effects within the triangular Mn3 subunits of the cluster.
