Electronic structure of the trimethylenemethane diradical in its ground and electronically excited states: Bonding, equilibrium geometries, and vibrational frequencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate equilibrium properties of the ground and the three lowest excited states of the trimethylenemethane ~TMM! diradical are calculated by using the novel spin–flip electronic structure method. Changes in structures and vibrational frequencies upon excitation are analyzed. The bonding picture in different states of TMM is derived from wave function analysis and comparison of equilibrium structures with typical values of coupled-cluster ~CC! bond lengths, e.g., a double CC bond in ethylene, a single CC bond in twisted ethylene, and a bond in the allyl radical. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1561052#

Electronic energies, geometries, and vibrational frequencies of the ground and low-lying excited states of the boron trimer
Ab initio electronic structure calculations on several low-lying valence states of B, have been carried out using correlation-consistent polarized valence double-zeta basis sets and completeactive-space self-consistent field treatments of electron correlation. Stable triangular structures, linear structures, and Jahn-Teller unstable structures are all observed. Equilibrium geometries, energies,...
متن کاملTheoretical Studies of Transition - Metal Hydrides . 3 . SrH + through CdH +
Generalized valence bond plus configuration interaction calculations have been carried out on the monopositive diatomic metal hydride ions of the second transition-metal series (YH+-CdH+, including SrH'). We analyze the trends in bond energies, equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, and metal orbital hybridizations. The trends in these quantities can be understood in terms of (1) the ...
متن کاملSemiempirical Quantum-Chemical Orthogonalization-Corrected Methods: Benchmarks of Electronically Excited States.
The semiempirical orthogonalization-corrected OMx methods have recently been shown to perform well in extensive ground-state benchmarks. They can also be applied to the computation of electronically excited states when combined with a suitable multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) treatment. We report on a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of the OMx/MRCI methods for electro...
متن کاملMicroscopic Parameters in the Excited State of Toluene and Some of Its Haloderavatives
The Ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectra of toluene, ortho-bromo and para-bromo toluene in different solvents have been studied. The electric dipole moments and polarizabilities in the molecular excited electronic states were determined. It was found that the electric dipole moments for the excited states (µ*) and the ground states (µ) of these compounds are equal, and the change in dipole moment i...
متن کاملA study of the structure and bonding of small aluminum oxide clusters by photoelectron spectroscopy: AlxOy
The structure and bonding of aluminum oxide clusters, AlxOy ~x51–2, y51–5!, are studied with anion photoelectron spectroscopy ~PES! and are compared with preliminary ab initio calculations. The spectra were obtained at four detachment photon energies: 2.33, 3.49, 4.66, and 6.42 eV. The 6.42 eV spectrum for AlO reveals the X S ground state and two excited states of AlO. The 6.42 eV spectrum for ...
