The potential curves of selected valence and Rydberg states of C2 lying in the 7–10 eV region are reported for the first time. The states studied, using MRCI wave funtions, include (2–5)3,1Πu, (1–3)3Σ+g, (2–5)3Σ–g, (1–3)3Δg, and relevant quintet states. The f 3Σ–g, g3Δg, and F1Πu states observed in absorption from 8.88 to 9.25 eV by Herzberg et al. have originally been assumed to be πu ® 3s Rydberg states, with respect to a 3Πu(13Πu) for the triplets and to X1Σg+ for the singlet. Our calculations partially support such assignments: f 3 Σg– corresponding to 33Σg– has mixed valence σuσgπu 3πg and Rydberg σu 2σgπu 23s character, g 3Δg corresponding to 23 Δg has a valence σuσgπu 3πg structure, while F 1 Πu(21Πu) is confirmed to be a σu 2πu 33s state. The calculated f00-values for these bands are 0.027 for f¬ a, 0.051 for g ¬ a, and 0.098 for F ¬ X. The singlet–singlet transition F ¬ X constitutes the strongest absorption band reported so far for C2. Our theoretical value agrees with f00(F¬X) = 0.10 ± 0.01 derived indirectly from interstellar data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope. The 13Σg+ (σuσgπu 3πg) state at Te = 7.57 eV lies much higher than expected by experimentalists. PACS Nos.: 31.20T, 31.50, 33.20N, 33.70. PACS Nos.: 31.20T, 31.50, 33.20N, 33.70.
