✦ Synopsis

In open-shell van der Waals complexes containing 'II diatomic molecules, the splitting between states with the same angular momentum quantum numbers but different parity is sensitively dependent on the intermolecular potential. The splitting for states with angular momentum projection quantum number P= f l/2 has been investigated previously by Green and Lester, and shown to arise in third-order perturbation theory. We use the same model to calculate the splitting for states with P= f 3/2, which arises in fifth order. A formula previously used to estimate the ratio of the parity splittings in P= k l/2 and k 3/2 states (Ohshima et al.) is shown to be incomplete, casting doubt on the resulting claim of compatibility between the measurements of these two splittings.

The effects of relative orientation on collision and reaction dynamics can be examined by characterizing the unimolecular decay of van der Waals complexes. Most commonly, decomposition is initiated by exciting one of the monomers within a complex, and the relative orientation is defined by the zero-

Restricted Hartree᎐Fock molecular orbitals have been used for the evaluation of dispersion contributions to the van der Waals interaction between closed-shell and open-shell systems represented by a simple Slater determinant. The dispersion energy has been computed for the ground state of He-H and H
