Va. Bataev et al., Ab initio calculations of the structure and dynamics of the H2CO, F2CO, and Cl2CO molecules in electronically excited states, RUSS J PH C, 73(9), 1999, pp. 1448-1452
The potential energy surfaces of the H2CO, F2CO, and Cl2CO molecules in the
lower excited singlet and triplet electronic states were studied by multic
onfigurational quantum chemistry methods. The dependence of estimates of th
e potential barrier to inversion on the method for calculations is discusse
d. The theoretical and experimental estimates of inversion vibrational leve
ls are compared.
