摘要:
B3∑u-态是O2的最强的三重跃迁(B3∑u-←X3∑g-) Schumann-Runge (SR)带的上态,SR吸收带在保护地球、阻止紫外辐射等方面起着关键作用.SR连续带的光解离是平流层O原子及O3的主要来源,掌握详细准确的O2分子的电子态势能曲线,有助于对这些光谱现象的深入理解.本文通过MOLPRO软件,采用包含Davison修正的内收缩的多参考组态相互作用(icMRCI+Q)方法,对O2的B3∑u态的势能曲线进行了计算,采用的多参考组态函数来自完全活性空间自洽场计算.首先,采用共价组态构成多参考组态,对和B3∑u-态对称性相同的四个态进行了态平均计算,发现B3∑u态不存在双势阱结构,文献(Spectrochimica Acta PartA:Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy 2014 124 216)中双势阱的产生是根的振荡(root flipping)造成的,即B3∑u态的势能曲线在核间距约为0.2 nm处跳变到能量相近的23△态的势能曲线上.本文中的态平均计算避免了这种根的振荡.接着,采用完全活性空间组态相互作用的方法计算B3∑u态的势能曲线,通过改变活性空间的轨道组成,发现带有2πu轨道电子布居的里德伯组态对B3∑u态的束缚态的特征的出现是必不可少的.最后,通过将2πu轨道加入到活性空间中,实现将相关的里德伯组态加入到多参考组态,对B3∑u态的势能曲线进行了icMRCI+Q计算,得到相较于以往的理论计算与实验值更加相近的势能曲线以及光谱常数.本文探讨里德伯组态贡献的过程为如何确定多参考组态相互作用计算中的参考组态、提高理论计算的准确度提供了可以借鉴的途径.
Abstract:
The B3∑u-state of O2 molecule is an upper state of the most strongly allowed triplet-triplet (B3∑~ ← X3∑g-)absorption,the Schumann-Runge (SR) transition,which plays a crucial role in protecting the earth from suffering UV radiation.Photo-dissociation of O2 molecule in the SR transition is the major source of odd oxygen (O and O3) in the stratosphere.Comprehensive knowledge of the electronic states,especially their potential energy curves (PECs),is necessary to understand those phenomena.In this paper,we calculate the PEC of Ba∑~ state of O2 by using the internally contracted multi-reference configuration interaction including Davison correction method,which is denoted by icMRCI+Q,and utilize the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) function as a reference function.The calculation is implemented in the MOLPRO suite of codes.Firstly,we carry out the state-averaged (SA) calculation on the four lowest states,A'3Au,B3∑u-,23Au and 23∑u-states,which are in the same irreducible representation of symmetric group.The active space of CASSCF consists of full valence space.The augmented correlation-consistent aug-cc-pV5Z basis set is used.The results show that the PEC of B3∑u-state does not displays double well structure,which is contradictory to Liu's result (Spectrochimica Acta Part A:Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy 2014 124 216).By analyzing the PEC structure,we find that the double well of Liu's result comes from the "root flipping",that is,the PEC interchange from B3∑u-state into 23Au state.In our case the "root flipping" is avoided by the SA calculation.Secondly,in order to ensure that the most important configurations are included in the reference function,we calculate the PEC of BaEu-state of O2 molecule at CASSCF/aug-cc-pVTZ level by changing the active space.We find that the bound well of the PEC will not appear unless the active space includes 2πu orbital which is beyond the full valence space.That means that the Rydberg configurations including 2πu orbital play a crucial role in forming the bound well.And the result is further improved by adding into the active space another two orbitals 4σg and 4σu whose orbital energies are both less than 2π,u.Finally,we add the Rydberg configurations into the multi-reference configuration function by putting 2πu,4σg,4σu into the active space and then carry out the calculation at an icMRCI+Q/aug-cc-pVTZ level.The obtained B3∑u-state PEC and its spectroscopic constants are in good agreement with the experimental data compared with previous results.Moreover,the process we determine the reference configurations is useful for making accurate calculation at an MRCI level on other species.
