The ground-state potential energy surface of water: barrier to linearity and its effect on the vibration–rotation levels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The major factor determining the accuracy of ro-vibrational spectra of the water molecule is the accuracy of the Ž . underlying potential energy surface PES . We discuss improving the ab initio PES by introducing a correction to represent, accurately, the change in potential from equilibrium to linear geometries. We show the improvements which this has on calculated vibrational band origins and rotational energy levels by comparison with experimental data. We predict a barrier to linearity of 11 105"5 cm, consistent with, but more accurate than, recent studies. This potential provides the optimum starting point for a proper fit of the PES. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Empirical Potential Energy Curve for the Ground State of CaH from a Multi-isotopologue Direct Potential Fit Analysis
Vibration-rotation and pure rotational data in the X2Σ+ ground state and electronic data from the A2Π – X2Σ+ and B2Σ+ − X2Σ+ transitions of CaH and CaD were used in the quantum-mechanical direct-potential-fit (DPF) analysis to determine an analytic potential energy function for the X2Σ+ ground state of CaH, and a radial correction function for the CaD isotopologue. The potential energy function...

متن کاملAb initio prediction of the potential energy surface and vibration-rotation energy levels of BeH2.
The equilibrium structure and potential energy surface of beryllium dihydride BeH(2) in its ground electronic state have been determined from highly accurate ab initio calculations. The vibration-rotation energy levels of three isotopomers BeH(2), BeD(2), and BeHD were predicted using the variational method. The calculated spectroscopic constants are in remarkably good agreement with the existi...
متن کاملFar-infrared laser vibration–rotation–tunneling spectroscopy of water clusters in the librational band region of liquid water
We report the first high resolution spectrum of a librational vibration for a water cluster. Four parallel bands of (H2O)3 were measured between 510 and 525 cm 21 using diode laser vibration– rotation–tunneling ~VRT! spectroscopy. The bands lie in the ‘‘librational band’’ region of liquid water and are assigned to the nondegenerate out of plane librational vibration. The observation of at least...
