Gaussian Basis Set

Ab initio calculations with uniform quality gaussian basis set were carried out at the RHF-SCF and CI level on the potential energy curves of the low lying triplet states of Be2 and Be3. The lowest excited state, the [Formula: see text] state of Be2 is 26.0 kcal/mol higher in energy than the ground [Formula: see text] state, and 39.4 kcal/mol lower than the separated Be(1S0) + Be(3P) atoms, with the s, p, d basis set. The next higher triplet state, the 3Πg, is only 8.7 kcal/mol above the lowest [Formula: see text] state. The [Formula: see text] and 3Πu states lie comparatively much higher than the [Formula: see text] state. All the triplet state potential curves have a bonding nature. The lowest triplet state [Formula: see text] in Be3 with D∞h symmetry lies ~15 kcal/mol above the ground [Formula: see text] state, and 48.2 kcal/mol lower than the separated atoms, 2Be(1S0) + Be(3P). The [Formula: see text] state has 1,3-diradical character and in all the higher triplet states α spin electrons are delocalized among the three Be atoms. The next higher triplet state 3Πu is 7.7 kcal/mol above the lowest [Formula: see text] state. The [Formula: see text] and 3Πg states lie much higher than the [Formula: see text] and 3Πu states. Like the triplet states of Be2, all Be3 triplet states have a bonding nature. Reaction path studies on the Be(3P) energy transfer reactions, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] show that these reactions do not feature any activation energy barrier.
