AbstractTwo different calculations are made of lower bounds for the electronic energy of . In the first the method of truncated Hamiltonians due to Bazley and Fox is adapted in such a way that the nuclear charge rather than the energy becomes the eigenvalue. Lower bounds are calculated for the energies of the six lowest σg and six lowest σu states, as well as of the three lowest of both πg and πu symmetries. This approach gives better convergence than when the energy is used as eigenvalue. In the second calculation the method of Temple and Kato is shown to give a satisfactory value for the energy of the ground state, provided that some necessary knowledge of the energy of the first-excited state is available.

Observations on the production of vibrationally excited oxygen molecules in the flash photolysis of nitrogen peroxide and of ozone have extended previous work on these systems. In the case of nitrogen peroxide it has been shown that oxygen molecules possessing the entire exothermicity of the reaction in the form of vibrational energy are produced. A new class of reactions is reported in which vibrationally excited hydroxyl radicals are produced under isothermal conditions by the reaction O(1D) + RH → OH* + R, in which the energy for excitation is contributed by the electronic energy of the oxygen atom.These and other cases of non-equilibrated energy distributions in reaction products and theories accounting for this phenomenon are reviewed.

This statistical study of the performance of a modified local-energy method using random selection shows that there is little advantage in using large numbers of electron positions, the quality of the wave functions being a much more significant factor. A relationship is given between the quality of the wave function and the resulting accuracy. Use of as few as 25 sets of electron positions is suggested.A method of avoiding the increase in the calculation time with the size of a system is given and was found to be very accurate in a simple situation.
