In this paper, the partial potential energy surface (PPESs) of the Br + HBr and Br - + HBr systems including the minimum energy path and the vibrational potential curves were constructed at MP2/6-311++G** level, based on the conception and constructing approach of the PPESs previously proposed. These results obtained from the PPESs were compared with those from the high resolved threshold photodetachment spectrum of the BrHBr - anion measured by Neumark et al., J Phys Chem94, 1377–1388, 1990. On the basis of the PPESs, the scattering resonance states of the Br + HBr (v) → BrH (v′) + Br state-to-state reaction were studied and the satisfactory results were obtained. Subsequently, we calculated the width and lifetime of the resonance states in this reaction by the one-dimensional square potential well model, and obtained some results consistent to the experiments.

The partial potential energy surface (PPES) of H + NO → N + OH or O + NH of 3A″ symmetry is first constructed using QCISD (T) method with 6-311++g** basis set, and then we speculate the existence of the scattering resonance states of these reactions. Finally, we estimate that the lifetime of scattering resonance state is about 1.5 ps, which is in agreement with Schatz's conclusion (~1.2 ps ). The scattering resonance states of the two reactions belong to the Feshbach type. The results are consistent with the probabilities calculations reported in the literatures.

Feshbach resonances are not restricted to small reactive systems such as F + H2 and I + HI but can be found in many reactive systems. In this paper, the concept of the partial potential energy surface (PPES) is introduced. It is shown that the dynamic “Lake Eyring” explains very well the existence of reactive resonances in elementary chemical reactions. In particular, the PPESs of the Cl + CH3CH2Br and Cl + CH3CH2CH2Br systems, including the minimum energy path and the vibrational potential energy curves, were constructed using quantum chemistry methods. Based on the constructed PPESs, the scattering resonance states of these reactions could be examined and the resonance state lifetimes were estimated.

A detailed discussion of the potential energy surface of bis(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt(II), cobaltocene, is given. Vibronic coupling coefficients are calculated using density functional theory (DFT). Results are in good agreement with experimental findings. On the basis of our calculation there is no second-order Jahn–Teller (JT) effect as predicted by group theory. The JT distortion can be expressed as a linear combination of all totally symmetric normal modes of the low-symmetry, minimum-energy conformation. The out-of-plane ring deformation is the most important mode. The JT distortion is analyzed by seeking the path of minimal energy of the adiabatic potential energy surface.

In this work, we continue the study of the bifurcations of the critical points in a symmetric Caldera potential energy surface. In particular, we study the influence of the depth of the potential on the trajectory behavior before and after the bifurcation of the critical points. We observe two different types of trajectory behavior: dynamical matching and the nonexistence of dynamical matching. Dynamical matching is a phenomenon that limits the way in which a trajectory can exit the Caldera based solely on how it enters the Caldera. Furthermore, we discuss two different types of symmetric Caldera potential energy surface and the transition from the one type to the other through the bifurcations of the critical points.

The conception of partial potential energy surface (PPES) is presented in this paper. PPES can be abstracted from complete potential energy surface (CPES), therefore, it can be constructed with ab initio quantum chemical method. For the systems of H + H 2→ H 2+ H , I + HI → IH + I and I -+ HI → IH + I -, the construction and applications of PPES are proposed as typical examples. It can be seen that the applications of PPES demonstrate remarkable virtues in the analysis of reaction mechanism and the formation of scattering resonance states.

New global potential energy surface for the ground electronic state of ozone is constructed at the complete basis set level of the multireference configuration interaction theory. A method of fitting the data points by analytical permutationally invariant polynomial function is adopted. A small set of 500 points is preoptimized using the old surface of ozone. In this procedure the positions of points in the configuration space are chosen such that the RMS deviation of the fit is minimized. New ab initio calculations are carried out at these points and are used to build new surface. Additional points are added to the vicinity of the minimum energy path in order to improve accuracy of the fit, particularly in the region where the surface of ozone exhibits a shallow van der Waals well. New surface can be used to study formation of ozone at thermal energies and its spectroscopy near the dissociation threshold.
