P. Jimeno et al., TOWARD A SINGLE-VALUED DMBE POTENTIAL-ENERGY SURFACE FOR CHNO((3)A) .1. DIATOMIC FRAGMENTS, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 101(26), 1997, pp. 4828-4834
As a first step toward the construction of a single-valued double many
-body expansion potential energy surface for CHNO((3)A), we have carri
ed out CASSCF and CASPT2 calculations of six diatomic curves, involvin
g a total of nine electronic states. The nb initio curves have been re
presented analytically using the extended Hartree-Fock approximate cor
relation energy model. In all cases, the semiempirical curves have bee
n found to agree well with the available spectroscopic RKR data.
