Abstract

We present ab initio multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) calculations for the potential energy surfaces of HCCl in its three low-lying electronic states (X̃¹ A′, ã³A″ and Ã¹ A″), and for the spin-orbit coupling between the X̃ and ã states. The two singlet states become a degenerate ¹Δ state in collinear geometries. The potential energy surfaces are interpolated from 6075 MRCI energy points. The final surfaces are slightly adjusted using a coordinate and energy scaling approach. The resulting T _e value is 2122.0 cm^-1 for ã³ A″ and 12209.8 cm^-1 for Ã¹ A″. Vibrational energy levels of DCCl and HCCl are computed for the three states taking into account the Renner-Teller effect and the spin-orbit coupling. The calculated vibronic energy levels are in good agreement with the available experimental values. It is found that the spin-orbit effect is pronounced in the X̃ and ã states.
