Spectroscopic properties of the low-lying electronic states of In 3 N , InN 3, and their ions are computed by the complete active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) followed by multireference singles + doubles configuration interaction (MRSDCI) calculations. Our results predict that the spectra of In 3 N / InN 3 are substantially different from those of Ga 3 As / GaAs 3 and Al 3 P / AlP 3 tetramers. The ground state of In 3 N is a closed-shell 1 A ′1 state with a planar D 3h symmetry, whereas the ground state of InN 3 is a 1Σ+ state of linear In – N – N – N structure. The equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies, atomization energies, adiabatic ionization potentials, electron affinities, and other properties are discussed.

The theoretical electronic structure of the LuF molecule is investigated, using the Complete Active-Space Self-Consistent Field CASSCF and the MultiReference Configuration Interaction MRCI methods. These methods are performed for 26 electronic states in the representation 2s+1Λ(+/−), neglecting spin–orbit effects. Spectroscopic constants including the harmonic vibrational wave number ωe (cm–1), the relative electronic energy Te (cm–1) referred to the ground state and the equilibrium internuclear distance Re (Å) are predicted for all the singlet and triplet electronic states situated below 50 000 cm–1. Calculated potential energy curves are also reported.

The potential energy curves of the low-lying doublet electronic states in the representation 2s+1Λ(+/−) of the SrF molecule have been investigated by using the complete active space self-consistent field with multireference configuration interaction and multireference Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory methods. The harmonic frequency, ωe; the internuclear distance, Re; the dipole moment; and the electronic energy with respect to the ground state, Te, have been calculated for the considered electronic states. The eigenvalues, Ev; the rotational constants, Bv; and the abscissas of the turning points, Rmin and Rmax, have been investigated using the canonical functions approach. The comparison between the values of the present work and those available in the literature for several electronic states shows very good agreement. Nine new electronic states have been investigated here for the first time.

The nine-valence-electron HMgN- and HNMg- anions have been investigated for the first time theoretically using CASSCF (complete active space self-consistent field) and CASPT2 (multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory) methods in conjunction with the contracted atomic natural orbital (ANO) basis sets. The structures of the low-lying electronic states of HMgN- and HNMg- were predicted. The possible unimolecular conversions between HMgN- and HNMg-were discussed. The calculated results indicated that the ground-state of HMgN-is linear, while the ground-state HNMg- is bent, which is in contradiction to Walsh?s rules predicting linear structures for the HXY systems containing 10 or less valence electrons.
