Configuration Interaction Calculations

Multireference configuration interaction calculations are carried out for ground and excited states of trichloromethanol to investigate two important photofragmentation processes relevant to atmospheric chemistry. For CCl3OH five low-lying excited states in the energy range between 6.1 and 7.1 eV are found to be highly repulsive for C-Cl elongation leading to Cl2COH (X2A') and Cl (X2P). Photodissociation along C-O cleavage resulting in Cl3C (X2A') and OH (X2Π) has to overcome a barrier of about 0.8 eV (13A'', 11A'') and 1.2 eV (13A') because the low-lying excited states 11A'', 13A' and 13A'' become repulsive only after elongating the C-O bond by about 0.3 Å.

Configuration Interaction Calculations

The excitation energies calculated by the HAM/3 procedure for ΠΠ* transitions in linear molecules can be internally inconsistent by as much as ± 0.6 eV. In the recent study by Åsbrink etal., the problem was avoided by adopting Recknagel's expressions and requiring the proper average ΠΠ* excitation energy. In this paper, we trace the small inconsistency back to its origin in HAM/3 theory and derive the analytical expression for the energy correction as well as Recknagel's formulas. Numerical examples studied include all seven linear molecules investigated by Åsbrink etal. The explicit expression for the correction enables us to perform meaningful configuration-interaction calculations on the excited states, as illustrated by the carbon suboxide molecule.

Abstract Ab initio configuration interaction calculations of the ground and singlet A′ and A″ excited states have been performed, with all possible single and double excitations from the 10 highest occupied orbitals to the lowest 17 virtual orbitals being included, the previous Cs symmetry molecular structure being used. Some of the states can be identified with excitation from individual occupied (SCF) orbitals to members of the virtual set, but some are not well represented by single configuration concepts. The results suggest that the three broad UV-spectral maxima observed in solution are not single excitations, but groups of excited states, with a total of 8 states. The closeness of some of these states makes positive assignment difficult. The most probable assignment is 455 nm (1 A″), 377 nm (2A″ + 1A′+ 2A′), ~ 277 nm (3A″ + 3A′), 232 nm (4A′ + 4A″).
