Title: | Heavier alkali-metal monosulfides (KS, RbS, CsS, and FrS) and their cations | Authors: | Lee, EPF Wright, TG |
Issue Date: | 8-Oct-2005 | Source: | Journal of chemical physics, 8 Oct. 2005, v. 123, no. 14, 144309, p. 1-8 | Abstract: | The heavier alkali-metal monosulfides (KS, RbS, CsS, and FrS) have been studied by high-level ab initio calculations. The RCCSD(T)method has been employed, combined with large flexible valence basis sets. All-electron basis sets are used for potassium and sulfur, with effective core potentials being used for the other metals, describing the core electrons. Potential-energy curves are calculated for the lowest two neutral and cationic states: all neutral monosulfide species have a ²II ground state, in contrast with the alkali-metal monoxide species, which undergo a change in the electronic ground state from ²II to ²Σ⁺ as the group is descended. In the cases of KS, RbS, and CsS, spin-orbit curves are also calculated. We also calculate potential-energy curves for the lowest ³Σ⁻ and ³II states of the cations. From the potential-energy curves, spectroscopic constants are derived, and for KS the spectroscopic results are compared to experimental spectroscopic values. Ionization energies, dissociation energies, and heats of formation are also calculated; for KS, we explore the effects of relativity and basis set extrapolation on these values. | Keywords: | Potassium compounds Rubidium compounds Caesium compounds Francium compounds Ab initio calculations Coupled cluster calculations Potential energy surfaces Ground states Ionisation potential Dissociation energies Relativistic corrections Molecular electronic states |
