Abstract

Electronic spectra, ionization potentials and ground state geometries of nine radicals containing 3 or 4 atoms were studied by configuration interaction treatment based on SCF MO's (standard CNDO/2 and the version of Del Bene and Jaffé). SCF open shell procedures used were those developed by Roothaan and Longuet-Higgins, Pople (LHP). It appears that the LHP procedure is satisfactory; if based on the SCF MO's of Del Bene and Jaffé it gives results which agree fairly well with observed electronic spectra and first ionization potentials.

Zusammenfassung

Elektronenspektren, Ionisierungspotentiale und Grundzustandsgeometrien von neun drei und vieratomigen Radikalen wurden mit Hilfe der Konfigurationswechselwirkungsmethode mit SCF MO (CNDO/2 und Version nach Del Bene and Jaffé) untersucht. Es wurden die SCF “open-shell”-Verfahren nach Roothaan, Longuet-Higgins und Pople (LHP) benutzt. Es scheint daß das LHP-Verfahren zu zufriedenstellenden Ergebnissen führt; zusammen mit SCF-MO nach Del Bene und Jaffé ergibt sich bei Elektronenspektren und Ionisierungspotentialen befriedigende Übereinstimmung mit dem Experiment.

Résumé

On a étudié les spectres électroniques, les potentiels d'ionisation et la géometrie de l'état fondamental de 9 radicaux contenant 3 ou 4 atomes par la méthode de l'interaction des configurations fondée sur les orbites moléculaires autocohérentes (standard CNDO/2 et la version de Del Bene et Jaffé). Les procédés autocohérents pour les couches ouvertes utilisés étaient ceux de Roothaan et de Longuet-Higgins, Pople (LHP). On voit que le procédé LHP est satisfaisant; dans le cas où il est basé sur les MO autocohérents de Del Bene et Jaffé, il donne des résultats qui sont en assez bon accord avec les spectres électroniques et les premiers potentiels d'ionisation observés.
