The "giant dipole" molecules, NR1R2—C6H4—(C≡C)n—C6H4—NO2n = 0, 1, 2, are studied theoretically for three sets of substituents: R1 = R2 = H, R1 = H, R2 = CH3, and R1 = R2 = CH3. For each of these nine molecules, the energies, and permanent and transition dipole moments for the 20 lowest electronic states are calculated using the intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) approximation at the configuration interaction with single excitations (CIS) level. Static polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities for the ground states are reported for these "push–pull" molecules. The changes in the physical properties of interest due to increase in conjugation length and the inductive effect of substituents on the donor group attached to the rings are discussed. The energies and permanent and transition dipole moments for the ten lowest electronic states are tabulated for use in future studies of the spectral and dynamical effects of permanent dipoie moments on laser-induced one- and multi-photon electronic transitions in realistic models for many-level giant dipole molecules.

Ab initio investigation has been performed for the strontium hydride cation SrH + using a standard quantum chemistry approach. It is based on the pseudopotentials for atomic core representations, Gaussian basis sets, as well as with full configuration interaction calculations. A diabatisation procedure based on the effective hamiltonian theory and an effective metric is used to produce the quasi-diabatic potential energy. Adiabatic and quasi-diabatic potential energy curves and their spectroscopic parameters for the ground and many excited electronic states of 1,3Σ+, 1,3Π, and 1,3Δ symmetries have been determined. Their predicted accuracy is discussed by comparing our well depths and equilibrium positions with the available experimental and theoretical results. Moreover, we localized and analyzed numerous avoided crossings between the electronic states of 1,3Σ+ and 1,3Π symmetries. The correction of the electron affinity of the H atom is also considered, for the 1–101Σ+ electronic states, to improve the accuracy of the adiabatic potential energies of these states. In addition, we calculated the dipole moments, for a wide range of internuclear distances in both diabatic and quasi-diabatic representations. The adiabatic permanent dipole moments for the 101Σ+ electronic states revealed ionic characters related to electron transfer and yields both SrH(+) and Sr(+)H arrangements. The transition dipole moments between neighbor electronic states revealed many peaks around the avoided crossing positions.
