We present a new three-dimensional potential energy surface for Xe–CO2 including the Q3 normal mode for the υ3 antisymmetric stretching vibration of the CO2 molecule. Two vibrationally adiabatic potentials with CO2 in both the ground (υ3 = 0) and the first excited (υ3 = 1) states are generated by the integration of this potential over the Q3 coordinate. Each potential is found to have a T-shaped global minimum. The radial DVR/angular FBR method and the Lanczos algorithm are employed to calculate the rovibrational energy levels. The calculated band origin shifts, microwave and infrared spectra based on the two averaged potentials are in good agreement with the available experimental data.

We report a new global potential energy surface (PES) for H 2 CO, based on precise fitting of roughly 67 000 MRCI/cc-pVTZ energies. This PES describes the global minimum, the cis - and trans -HCOH isomers, and barriers relevant to isomerization, formation of the molecular (H 2 +CO) and radical (H+HCO) products, and the loose so-called roaming transition-state saddle point. The key features of the PES are reviewed and compared with a previous PES, denoted by PES04, based on five local fits that are ‘stitched’ together by switching functions (Zhang et al. 2004 J. Phys. Chem. A 108 , 8980–8986 ( doi:10.1021/jp048339l )). Preliminary quasi-classical trajectory calculations are performed at the total energy of 36 233 cm −1 (103 kcal mol −1 ), relative to the H 2 CO global minimum, using the new PES, with a particular focus on roaming dynamics. When compared with the results from PES04, the new PES findings show similar rotational distributions, somewhat more roaming and substantially higher H 2 vibrational excitation. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Theoretical and computational studies of non-equilibrium and non-statistical dynamics in the gas phase, in the condensed phase and at interfaces’.
