The energy levels of the lower valence and Rydberg states of selenoformaldehyde, CH2Se, have been calculated by the SCF/CI method. Wavefunctions for the ROHF (restricted open shell Hartree–Fock) states were obtained with the Binnings–Curtis double-ζ basis set, augmented with Rydberg and polarization functions. Configuration interaction was applied to the parent configurations, PCMO (parent configuration molecular orbital). Oscillator strengths were evaluated for the allowed electric dipole transitions by the RPA (random phase approximation), and SOPPA (second-order polarization propagator approximation) methods. The spin-orbit contribution to the zero field splitting of the first triplet state, 3A2(n,π*) as well as the oscillator strengths to the three spin components were calculated by perturbation theory. These calculations predict that the Sx, Sy, and Sz components are shifted by −96.091,−96.707, and + 29.167 cm−1, respectively, from their unperturbed position. The oscillator strengths for the three components fx, fy, and fz of the 3A2(n,π*) ← 1A1(g.s.) transition were calculated to be 3.45 × 10−7, 1.15 × 10−7, and 173.0 × 10−7.

ABSTRACT Accurate atomic data are essential for opacity calculations and for abundance analyses of the Sun and other stars. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of energy levels and transition data for C i–iv. The Multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction methods were used in this work. To improve the quality of the wavefunctions and reduce the relative differences between length and velocity forms for transition data involving high Rydberg states, alternative computational strategies were employed by imposing restrictions on the electron substitutions when constructing the orbital basis for each atom and ion. Transition data, for example, weighted oscillator strengths and transition probabilities, are given for radiative electric dipole (E1) transitions involving levels up to 1s22s22p6s for C i, up to 1s22s27f for C ii, up to 1s22s7f for C iii, and up to 1s28g for C iv. Using the difference between the transition rates in length and velocity gauges as an internal validation, the average uncertainties of all presented E1 transitions are estimated to be 8.05 per cent, 7.20 per cent, 1.77 per cent, and 0.28 per cent, respectively, for C i–iv. Extensive comparisons with available experimental and theoretical results are performed and good agreement is observed for most of the transitions. In addition, the C i data were employed in a re-analysis of the solar carbon abundance. The new transition data give a line-by-line dispersion similar to the one obtained when using transition data that are typically used in stellar spectroscopic applications today.

Dipole moments of a series of radicals, OH, NO, NS, SF, SO, PO, ClO, CN, LiO, NO2, and ClO2 were calculated by the Coupled Cluster CCSD(T) method with the single determinant restricted open shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF) reference. For all molecules theoretical dipole moments were carefully compared to experimental values. The size and the quality of the basis set were systematically improved. Spin adaptation in the ROHF-CCSD(T) method, largest single and double excitation amplitudes and the T1 diagnostics were considered as indicators in the quality assessment of calculated dipole moments. For most molecules the accuracy within 0.01-0.03 D was readily obtained. For ClO and CN the spin adaptation was necessary - its contribution was as large as 0.03-0.045 D. Large deviation from experiment is observed for OH in its A2Σ+ excited state (0.135 D) and especially for LiO in its 2Π ground state (0.22 D). No indication of the failure of theoretical calculations was found which leads to the conclusion that, even if there is still a space for the improvement of theoretical calculations, experimental values should be reconsidered.

The transition parameters such as the wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths, and transition probabilities (or rates) for the nd (n=5−9)−nf (n=4−8), nd (n=5−9)−np (n=6−9), np (n=6−9)−ns (n=6−10), and ng (n=5−8)−nf (n=4−8) electric dipole (E1) transitions of doubly ionized lanthanum (La III, Z=57) have been calculated using the relativistic Hartree-Fock (HFR) method. In this method, configuration interaction and relativistic effects have been included in the computations combined with a least squares fitting of the Hamiltonian eigenvalues to the observed energy levels. We have compared the results obtained from this work with the previously available calculations and experiments in literature. We have also reported new transitions with the weighted transition probabilities greater than or equal to 105.

Equations allow to determine 2nd- and 4th-rank ZFSPs (Bkq) based on spin energy levels (λi) at B = 0. This method is applied to Fe2+ (S = 2) adatoms on CuN/Cu(100) surface using DFT and experimental data. Relative importance of ZFSPs is analyzed.

Abstract Energy levels, wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths, transition probabilities and lifetimes are calculated for all levels of 1s 2 and 1snl (n = 2–6) configurations of He-like cadmium ion (Cd XLVII). The calculations were carried out using three codes GRASP2018, FAC and AMBiT in order to provide theoretically the most accurate data. Transition probabilities are reported for all the E1, E2, M1 and M2 transitions. Breit interactions and quantum electrodynamics effects are included in the RCI calculations. Comparisons were made with other calculations and a good agreement was found which confirms the reliability of our results. We present some missing data for the He-like cadmium in this paper for the first time.

The effects of a non-zero average zero-field splitting on electron spin relaxation in paramagnetic (S = 1) complexes is treated theoretically. The spin-lattice interaction is postulated to be a simple scalar P(t). S process with correlation time Ti. This process is assumed not to modulate the zero-field splitting which, however, is modulated by the molecular tumbling. The frequency dependence of the nuclear relaxation time (Tl) now depends on the magnitude of the zero-field splitting constant (D), and, for large values of D, the value of T1 is independent of the applied field strength.

AbstractCompound I has been postulated to be the reactive species in many heme catalysts, which performs different chemistry and shows different properties in different enzymes. The aim of this review is to present a comprehensive model which has been successfully used to interpret the EPR spectra of various Compound I species. The theoretical approach established by seminal articles will be revisited and its ability to explain experimental results will be illustrated by simulating selected spectra from the literature. Compound I stores two oxidizing equivalents, one in the paramagnetic iron(IV)-oxo moiety, and another one as a free radical on the porphyrin ligand or an amino acid in the protein. To describe the interactions of the two paramagnetic species with each other and with their local environment, the spin Hamiltonian of the system is built step by step. The Fe(IV) center is described using a two-hole model. The effect of the crystal-field and spin–orbit coupling on the energy levels is calculated with this simple approach, which allows to obtain spin Hamiltonian parameters like zero-field splitting and effective g-values for the iron. The magnetic interaction between the Fe(IV) center and the free radical is considered and allowed to vary in sign (ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic) and magnitude to interpret the EPR of Compound I species in different systems. Since orbital overlap is crucial for exchange interaction, special emphasis is made in obtaining the orientation of Fe semi-occupied orbitals by extending the counter-rotation concept, which relates the directions of magnetic, electronic, and molecular axes.
