Using the graphical user interface GABEDIT and the computational chemistry software MOLPRO, the ab initio calculation method has been applied to explore 25 low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states, including the X1Σ+ ground state, of the calcium sulfide molecule CaS in the 2s+1Λ± representation. The multi-reference configuration interaction with Davidson correction (MRCI+Q) and the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations were performed to obtain the potential energy curves in terms of the internuclear distance R. The permanent dipole moments μe of these low-lying electronic states of CaS have been investigated, in addition to the corresponding spectroscopic constants (including the electronic energy with respect to the ground state Te, the equilibrium internuclear distance Re, the harmonic vibrational frequency ωe, the rotational constant Be, and the equilibrium dissociation energy De). In the present work, 19 new singlet and triplet CaS electronic states were investigated for the first time. In addition, it is noticeable that the current results and those already available in literature are in good agreement.

AbstractThe ground state and 23 other low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states of the strontium mono-sulfide molecule SrS, in the 2s+1Λ± representation, have been examined by ab initio calculations using the computational chemistry software MOLPRO and the graphical user interface GABEDIT. The potential energy curves, in terms of the internuclear distance R, resulted from the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and multi-reference doubly and singly configuration interaction (MRDSCI) with Davidson correction (+Q) calculations. The permanent dipole moments (μ) and the spectroscopic constants (Te: the electronic energy with respect to the ground state, ωe: the harmonic frequency, Re: the equilibrium internuclear distance, Be: the rotational constant, De: the equilibrium dissociation energy) have been investigated. The results of this work are in good agreement with the results available in literature. Moreover, for the first time, it was possible to study 20 new singlet and triplet electronic states of SrS molecule.

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.

In this study, the low lying electronic states and spectroscopy of diatomic molecule ZnS in addition to its dipole moments have been investigated by performing highly correlated ab initio calculations, the Complete Active Space Self Consistent Field (CASSCF) method with Multi Reference Configuration Interaction (MRCI+Q) for an accurate picture for these states. The proposed study includes information about the potential energy curves of the lowest 12 singlet and 9 triplet electronic states of the molecule ZnS, in the representation 2s+1Λ(+/-). Nine of these states have been studied here for the first time. The harmonic frequency we, the internuclear distance re, the electronic energy with respect to the ground state Te, the rotational constant Be, and the permanent dipole moment μ have been calculated, compared and compiled with the available existing data to illustrate the electronic characteristics. The comparison of these values reveals a very good agreement.

Adiabatic potential energy curves of the 28 low-lying doublet and quartet electronic states in the representation 2s+1Λ(±) of the zinc monofluoride molecule are investigated using the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) with multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) method including single and double excitations with the Davidson correction (+Q). The internuclear distance Re, the harmonic frequency ωe, the static and transition dipole moment μ, the rotational constant Be, and the electronic transition energy with respect to the ground state Te are calculated for the bound states. The transition dipole moment between some doublet states is used to determine the Einstein spontaneous A21 and induced emission [Formula: see text] coefficients, as well as the spontaneous radiative lifetime τspon, emission wavelength λ21, and oscillator strength f21. The ground state ionicity qionicity and equilibrium dissociation energy DE,e are also computed. The comparison between the values of the present work and those available in the literature for several electronic states shows very good agreement. Twenty-three new electronic states have been studied in the present work for the first time.

An ab initio calculation of the low-lying electronic states of zirconium nitride (ZrN) were performed by using a complete active space self-consistent field with multireference single and double excitation configuration interaction (MRSDCI). The potential energy curves of 21 low-lying electronic states of the ZrN molecule with different spin and spatial symmetries, in the representation 2s+1Λ(+/−) and below 30 000 cm–1, were identified. The harmonic frequency (ωe), the equilibrium internuclear distance (Re), the rotational constants (Be), the electronic energy with respect to the ground state (Te), and the permanent dipole moment (µ) were calculated for the considered electronic states. The comparison of these values with those available in the literature shows a very good agreement with either theoretical or experimental data. Fifteen new electronic states were studied here for the first time.

The potential energy curves of the low-lying electronic states of the LaH molecule are reported via the CASSCF method with multireference calculations (single and double excitations with Davidson corrections). Twenty-four low-lying electronic states of the LaH molecule in the representation 2s+1Λ(+/−) below 20 000 cm−1 were investigated along with five lower electronic states in the Ω representation. The harmonic frequency ωe, the equilibrium internuclear distance Re, the rotational constants Be, and the electronic energy with respect to the ground state Te were calculated for these states. Twelve new electronic states are investigated in the present work for the first time that have not yet been observed experimentally. Using the canonical functions approach, the eigenvalues Ev, the rotational constants Bv, the centrifugal distortion constants Dv, and the abscissas of the turning points Rmin and Rmax were calculated for the investigated electronic states up to vibrational level v = 43.

The harmonic frequency ωe, the internuclear distance re, the rotational constant Be, the electronic energy with respect to the ground state Te, and the permanent dipole moment μ have been calculated. By using the canonical functions approach, the eigenvalues Ev, the rotational constant Bv, and the abscissas of the turning points rmin and rmax have been calculated for electronic states up to the vibrational level v = 38. The comparison of these values to the theoretical results available in the literature shows a very good agreement.

For the alkali iodide molecules LiI, NaI, KI, and RbI, ab initio CASSCF/(MRCI+Q) calculations have been employed to investigate the adiabatic potential energy curves and the static dipole moment curves of the low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states in the representation 2S+1Λ(+/−). The spectroscopic constants Te, Re, ωe, Be, αe, the dipole moment μe, and the dissociation energies De have been computed for the bound states. Additionally, the percentage ionic character fionic around the equilibrium position of the ground state and the (2)1Σ+ state has been estimated. Using the canonical function approach, these calculations have been followed by a rovibrational calculation from which the rovibrational constants Ev, Bv, Dv, and the abscissas of the turning points Rmin and Rmax for the investigated bound states are calculated.

The internuclear distance at equilibrium Re, the electronic energy with respect to the ground state Te, the harmonic frequency we, the rotational constants Be and the permanent dipole moment have been calculated for the bound electronic states. The Franck-Condon factor is calculated for the electronic transition between the two electronic states X2S+-(1)2P. Since there is limited data are published in literature, twenty-two new electronic states have been investigated here for the first time for the molecule BeCl. The comparison between our calculated values and those available in the literature shows a very good good agreement.
