The ground state and low-lying excited states of the CCCN radical and its ions have been investigated systematically using the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multi-configuration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) methods in conjunction with the ANO-RCC-TZP basis set. The calculated results show that the state 12Σ+ has the lowest CASPT2 energy among the electronic states. By means of the geometric optimization of this radical, it could be found that the molecule exhibits linear structure, with the bond lengths R1 = 1.214 Å, R2 = 1.363 Å, R3 = 1.162 Å, which are very close to the experimental values. The calculated vertical excitation energies and the corresponding oscillator strengths show that there are three relatively strong peaks at energies 0.63, 4.04, and 5.49 eV, which correspond to the transitions 12Σ+ → 12Π, 12Σ+ → 22Π, and 12Σ+ → 22Σ+, respectively. Additionally, the electronic configuration and the harmonic vibration frequencies of each state are also investigated.

Extended MR-CISD and MR-AQCC calculations have been performed on the ground state and the first two excited states of malonaldehyde. Full geometry optimizations have been carried for Cs and C2v structures both at MR-CISD and MR-AQCC levels. Vertical and minimum-to-minimum excitation energies and oscillator strengths have been computed. Systematic studies have been undertaken concerning several types of reference spaces. Agreement with the experimental 0-0 transition energy to the S1 state (expt. 3.50 eV, calc. 3.56 eV) and for the vertical excitation to S2 (expt. band maximum 4.71 eV, best estimate 4.86 eV) is very good. In agreement with the CASSCF/CASPT2 results by Sobolewski and Domcke (J. Phys. Chem. A 1999, 103, 4494), we find that the hydrogen bond in malonaldehyde is weakened by excitation to the S1 state. The barrier for proton transfer in the S1 state is increased in comparison with the ground state.

Gaussian 09, RevisionA.01, software package was used for the theoretical quantum chemical calculations of 5-methyl-2-isopropylphenol. DFT/B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) basis was used to perform geometric optimization and vibrational frequency determination of the molecule.

Various NLO properties like total dipole moment (µ), mean linear polarizability (α), anisotropic polarizability (Δα), first order polarizability (β), and second order hyperpolarizability (γ) in terms of x, y, z components were calculated at DFT/B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) basis set for 5-methyl-2-isopropylphenol. Mulliken population analysis was also done using the same basis set. Time Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) method using the same basis set was used to compute UV-Visible absorption spectra, ECD spectra, electronic transitions, vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths of 5-methyl-2-isopropylphenol.FMO analysis, ESP study were also done using the same basis set.

Configuration Interaction Calculations

Vertical excitation energies and oscillator strengths of doublet and quartet states of ClOO, covering doublet states up to 7.5 eV and quartet states up to 9 eV, were obtained by multireference configuration interaction calculations. Strong absorptions from the X2A″ ground state are predicted at 186 and 235 nm. Experimentally, a maximum has been found near 248 nm. The grouping of excited states, with twelve low-lying doublet states and three low-lying quartet states, is explained by the interaction of the 2P ground state of Cl with the π*2 states 3Σg–, 1Δg, and 1Σg+ of O2. Potential energy curves for Cl–O separation at fixed O–O distance and ClOO angle show the lower states to be repulsive (with the exception of the ground state), and higher states to have minima due to avoided crossings. The lowest Rydberg states are expected around 8.5 eV. Adiabatic ionization potentials (IP) and electron affinities (EA) of ClOO were obtained by density functional and coupled cluster methods, with values of 11.60–11.79 eV for IP and 3.56–3.79 eV for EA.

A great deal of theoretical work has been carried out to investigate the properties of the six lowest singlet electronic states of N 2 O molecule: the ground state X 1A′; the excited states 11A′′, 21A′, 21A′′, 31A′ and 31A′′. Multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) approach has been used to compute the full-dimensional potential energy surfaces of the six lowest states employing aug-cc-pVQZ minus g orbital basis set. It was found that such of highly accurate potential yields excellent results of bond dissociation and vertical excitation energies in comparison with the experimental values. Several important symmetry and nonsymmetry related conical intersections in linear and bent geometries have been discussed. Of particular interest is the location of conical intersections between the 21A′(1Δ) and 31A′(1Π) states, and between the 11A′′(1Σ-) and 31A′′(1Π) states in linear geometry, as well as conical intersection between the X 1A′ and 21A′ states in bent geometry. The corresponding transition dipole moment surfaces have also been computed, connecting the ground electronic state to the lowest five excited states. Detailed discussion on the vector properties of the dipole transition has been presented specifically in the vicinity of the conical intersections.

Ab initio CI studies have been performed to determine the geometry of the ground and first electronically excited states of the chlorothioformyl radical, ClCS, and the vertical excitation energies of its ten lowest doublet states and two lowest quartet states. The results are used to construct a more complete energy level correlation diagram for the photofragmentation of Cl2CS. The lowest excited electronic state of ClCS lies only 0.79 eV (adiabatic) above the ground state. Its discovery indicates that the results of previous photofragmentation experiments may need to be reinterpreted.

Previous calculations on the ground states of the hydrides are extended to include the stable excited states. The ab initio orbital calculations predict vertical excitation energies which differ from the experimental values by as much as 2eV. However, when allowance is made for the effects of atomic electron correlation all errors in the calculated excitation energies become less than 0·2eV. The locations of excited states of different multiplicities from those of the ground states are predicted to within this accuracy. The oscillator strengths of allowed transitions from the ground states are calculated using both the dipole-length and dipole-velocity formulae. The dipole-length values are in fair agreement with the only experimental value available (for OH 2 ll → 2 ∑ + ), whereas the dipole-velocity values are much too large. Possible improvements in the accuracy of the calculations are discussed.

Using the Fock space multireference coupled-cluster (FS-MRCC) analytical linear response approach, we report the dipole moments of low-lying singlet and triplet excited states of ozone. The low-lying singlet and triplet excited states are calculated at the ground-state geometry and at the adiabatic geometry for the 1A2 and 1B1. For comparison we also calculate at the ground-state geometry the dipole moments of the 1A2, 1B1 and 1B2 using multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) with a bigger VQZ basis and complete active space. We also report as by-product the excitation energy values in the singles and doubles approximation. At the ground-state geometry we also report the energy and the dipole moments of the 2A1, 2A2 and 2B1 states of the ozone radical cation. The energy of the ozone cation radical is compared with the other correlated approaches. It matches well with the experimental values.
