✦ Synopsis
Potential energy calculations for the interaction of CO( a 'IT) with Hr( X 'C: ) are presented, both at the MC SCF level and with the inclusion of extensive configuration interaction. In C1, geometry, the lowest two 3BI surfaces exhibit a strongly avoided crossing. At the highest level of theory used, the lowest surface provides a barrier-free adiabatic pathway for energy transfer from CO(a) to Hz, the products being CO(X '2') and H,(b '2: ), which dissociates to two H atoms. The energy transfer occurs by a two-electron exchange mechanism.

The mechanism of electronic quenching of the A 2A state of CH by ground-state H, is qualitatively investigated by calculating the appropriate potential energy surfaces. It is shown that the appearance of an early potential barrier of 0.15 eV and of a late barrier of 0.6 eV on the potential energy su
A variational approach is applied to calculate the vibronic energy levels and the corresponding wavefunctions for the \(X^{2} I_{u}\) electronic state of \(\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}^{+}\). The potential surfaces involving variations of the symmetric B-H stretching, B-B stretching, trans- and cis
Ab initio molecular-orbital calculations have been carried out on the low-lying triplet and singlet electronic states of the H&N+ cation, at the SCF and Moller-Plesset levels of theory. Both triplet 'AZ and 3BZ electronic states have similar energies. The barriers to isomerization to the 'A" and 'A'
Quantum mechanical ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-3 lG\* level are performed on two proton bound dimer systems, [HsN-H-NHs]+ and [ H2N-H-OH,] +. Several calculations using a medium-size polarized basis set were performed as a check of the 6-3 IG\* results. Energies are calculated at heavy-atom
The formation of NO (A,v) and NO(B,v) was investigated from the reaction Co(a,v') + NO(X,v" -0) in a beam-beam configuration. The nascent rovibrational distributions of NO(A,v-0-2) and NO(B,v-0-2) were determined from NO(A ~ X) and NO(B ~ X) emissions by means of spectral simulation. The branching r
