β¦ Synopsis
An ab initio study of the low-lying states of CICC and SCrH has been carried out. In the case of ClCC a 2Z+ state lies lowest in energy at the UHF level, but correlation effects favour a zTI state, which is predicted to be the ground state. In the case of S&H, a linear SCCH species (2H state) is found to be the ground state, whereas a "A" state is the lowest-lying HSCC species. The estimated rotational constants and asymmetry parameter for the ZA" state are compatible with those for a newly detected radical in space, and it is shown to possess a high dipole moment. HSCC seems the most likely candidate for the new radical.
