Vm. Garcia et al., THEORETICAL-STUDY OF THE ETHYLENE ELECTRONIC-SPECTRUM AND EXTRACTION OF AN R-DEPENDENT HUBBARD HAMILTONIAN, Chemical physics letters, 261(1-2), 1996, pp. 98-104
The iterative difference-dedicated configuration interaction method ha
s been applied to study the vertical spectrum of ethylene below 9.5 eV
. The deviation from experimental estimations is lower than 0.1 eV, in
cluding the strongly mixed Rydberg valence B-1(1u) states. The potenti
al energy curves of the three lowest valence states as a function of t
he C-C bond length are calculated and provide an r-dependent Hubbard H
amiltonian.
