AbstractThe dipole-bound excited state of the methylene nitrile anion (CH2CN−) has been suggested as a candidate carrier for a diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 803.8 nm. Its corresponding radical has been detected in the interstellar medium (ISM), making the existence for the anion possible. This work applies state-of-the-art ab initio methods such as coupled cluster theory to reproduce accurately the electronic excitations for CH2CN− and the similar methylene enolate anion, CH2CHO−. This same approach has been employed to indicate that 19 other anions may possess electronically excited states, five of which are valence in nature. Concurrently, in order to assist in the detection of these anions in the ISM, work has also been directed towards predicting vibrational frequencies and spectroscopic constants for these anions through the use of quartic force fields (QFFs). Theoretical rovibrational work on anions has thus far included studies of CH2CN−, C3H−, and is currently ongoing for similar systems.

A novel, time-independent formulation of the coupled-cluster theory of the polarization propagator is presented. This formulation, unlike the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster approach, is fully size-extensive and, unlike the conventional time-dependent coupled-cluster method, is manifestly Hermitian, which guarantees that the polarization propagator is always real for purely imaginary frequencies and that the resulting polarizabilities exhibit time-reversal symmetry (are even functions of frequency) for purely real or purely imaginary perturbations. This new formulation is used to derive compact expressions for the three leading terms in the Møller-Plesset expansion for the polarization propagator. The true and apparent correlation contributions to the second-order term are analyzed and separated at the operator level. Explicit equations for the polarization propagator at the non-perturbative, singles and doubles level (CCSD) are presented.
