Good Agreement

The multiphoton spectra of the 1,3-trans-butadiene is investigated using highly correlated wave-functions. On the basis of computed transitions energies, intensities and polarization ratios, assignments are made to the first members of five Rydberg series and to a valence (π → π*) state. The results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The features of configuration interaction calculations in π -electron systems so far reported are analyzed and compared with some atomic, and diatomic molecular, systems. The interactions between configuration wave functions are not negligible in atoms and are important in molecules bound either by σ - or π -electrons. In the one case where comparison is possible, viz. in H 2 (Coulson 1938), the magnitude of the effect is reduced to one-half when the configurations refer to self-consistent field orbitals rather than to linear combinations of atomic orbitals. The situation in which a consideration of configuration interaction is inescapable is for the configurations of a shell of molecular electrons where, typically, the spread of the energies is small compared with the total electronic energy. In cyclobutadiene, butadiene, benzene and naphthalene, i. e. in all cases so far reported, even the order of some of the states is changed. The wave functions derived in these calculations are markedly better than single-configuration ones, as judged by the much better agreement between calculated and experimental spectral transition probabilities.

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.
