Ar. Allouche et al., THEORETICAL-STUDY OF THE ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF THE LOW-LYING STATESOF THE LI2H MOLECULE, Canadian journal of physics, 74(5-6), 1996, pp. 194-201
Results of a complete active space self-consistent field treatment of
the two lowest states of each symmetry (2)A(1), B-2(1), and B-2(2) of
Li2H are reported. An isosceles triangle is predicted for the equilibr
ium geometry of the ground state (1)(2)A(1) (R(LiLi) = 2.48 Angstrom,
R(LiH) = 1.70 Angstrom) (1 Angstrom = 10(-10) m) and of the excited st
ate (1)B-2(1) (R(LiLi) = 2.91 Angstrom, R(LiH) = 1.58 Angstrom) while
a linear geometry is predicted for the (1)B-2(2), (2)(2)A(1), (2)B-2(2
), and (2)B-2(1) states with the following values for R(LiH) = R(LiLi)
/2 : 1.66, 1.57, 1.66, and 1.57 Angstrom, respectively. Fitted analyti
cal forms of the potential energy surfaces for the six states investig
ated are also displayed.
