Bound ro-vibronic states of triplet H-3+

On the basis of a new, highly accurate potential energy hypersurface for th e lowest triplet state of H-3(,)+ (3)Sigma (+)(u), the bound ro-vibronic st ates are calculated for J less than or equal to 5. Since the potential has very shallow minima, those states exist only up to single vibrational excit ation. The symmetry properties of the re-vibrational states are investigate d. Further, it is demonstrated that the first excited triplet state, which intersects conically with the (3)Sigma (+)(u) state, has no effect on the r eported re-vibrational energies.
