Title: Application of equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods to low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states of HBO and BOH. Author: DeYonker NJ, Li S, Yamaguchi Y, Schaefer HF, Crawford TD, King RA, Peterson KA. Journal: J Chem Phys; 2005 Jun 15; 122(23):234316. PubMed ID: 16008450. Abstract: The equilibrium structures and physical properties of the X (1)sigma(+) linear electronic states, linear excited singlet and triplet electronic states of hydroboron monoxide (HBO) (A (1)sigma(-), B (1)delta, a (3)sigma(+), and b (3)delta) and boron hydroxide (BOH) (A (1)sigma(+), B (1)Pi, and b (3)Pi), and their bent counterparts (HBO a (3)A('), b (3)A("), A (1)A("), B (1)A(') and BOH X (1)A('), b (3)A('), c (3)A("), A (1)A('), B (1)A('), C (1)A(")) are investigated using excited electronic state ab initio equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CC) methods. A new implementation of open-shell EOM-CC including iterative partial triple excitations (EOM-CC3) was tested. Coupled-cluster wave functions with single and double excitations (CCSD), single, double, and iterative partial triple excitations (CC3), and single, double, and full triple excitations (CCSDT) are employed with the correlation-consistent quadruple and quintuple zeta basis sets. The linear HBO X (1)sigma(+) state is predicted to lie 48.3 kcal mol(-1) (2.09 eV) lower in energy than the BOH X (1)sigma(+) linear stationary point at the CCSDT level of theory. The CCSDT BOH barrier to linearity is predicted to lie 3.7 kcal mol(-1) (0.16 eV). With a harmonic zero-point vibrational energy correction, the HBO X (1)sigma(+)-BOH X (1)A(') energy difference is 45.2 kcal mol(-1) (1.96 eV). The lowest triplet excited electronic state of HBO, a (3)A('), has a predicted excitation energy (T(e)) of 115 kcal mol(-1) (4.97 eV) from the HBO ground state minimum, while the lowest-bound BOH excited electronic state, b (3)A('), has a T(e) of 70.2 kcal mol(-1) (3.04 eV) with respect to BOH X (1)A('). The T(e) values predicted for the lowest singlet excited states are A (1)A(")<--X (1)sigma(+)=139 kcal mol(-1) (6.01 eV) for HBO and A (1)A(')<--X (1)A(')=102 kcal mol(-1) (4.42 eV) for BOH. Also for BOH, the triplet vertical transition energies are b (3)A(')<--X (1)A(')=71.4 kcal mol(-1) (3.10 eV) and c (3)A(")<--X (1)A(')=87.2 kcal mol(-1) (3.78 eV).[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
