β¦ Synopsis
Our procedure for employing analytical gradients of ab initio potential energy hypersurfaces in the description of centrifugally distorted molecules is applied for the first time to an asymmetric top, namely ozone. Both single determinantal (HF/6-31G*) and analytically fitted multiconfigurational self-consistent field surfaces were utilized. The focus of the HF/6-31G* study is upon the centrifugal distortion pathway. Quartic centrifugal spectroscopic coefficients are obtained in both cases and are in reasonable agreement with experiment.
