Abstract
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.
