β¦ Synopsis
The adiabatic approximation for vibrational energies of three-mode IlaO is tested against accurate vibratiowl selfconststcnt field plus configuration interaction calculations. As formulated and applied in normal coordinates, the approxh is to couple the two high-frequency stretching modes exactly for fixed values of the Ior-frequency bending mode. The bending motion is then governed by the stretching ei~envahre plus the diagonal bending part of the full potential. The adiabatic method gives quite accurate results for St&es which are not strongly perturbed.

A test of a quantum adiabatic treatment of rotational energy for the calculation ofvibrational/rotational energies and dynamics of polyatomic molecules is presented. The approach is given in detail for triatomic systems, where it is shown, in the symmetrictop limit, to be the quantum analog of an ea
The adiabatic switching method is used to calculate semiclassical vibrational eigenvalues for H20 and SO2. Hyperspherical coordinates are utilized and a semiclassical correction rule, analogous to the Langer method in WKB theory is proposed and tested. Results calculated without the correction rule
