Preliminary ab initio study of the quartet states of the complex formed between NO(X 2?) and O2(X 3?g?)
Preliminary ab initio study of the quartet states of the complex formed between NO(X 2?) and O2(X 3?g?)
We present the results of a preliminary study of the quartet states of the complex formed between the ground-state NO(X 2?) and the ground-state O2(X 3?g?) molecules. Geometry optimizations are performed at the UQCISD/6-31+G* and UQCISD/6-311+G(2d) level. Binding energies are then calculated for the three lowest energy isomers at the RCCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ level. The lowest energy isomer is found to be a T-shaped C2v NO(O2) structure, with a De value of 110 cm?1, after correction for BSSE. The favoured geometry seems to suggest that electron repulsion is an important consideration in this species.

Abstract
We present the results of a preliminary study of the quartet states of the complex formed between the ground-state NO(X 2?) and the ground-state O2(X 3?g?) molecules. Geometry optimizations are performed at the UQCISD/6-31+G* and UQCISD/6-311+G(2d) level. Binding energies are then calculated for the three lowest energy isomers at the RCCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ level. The lowest energy isomer is found to be a T-shaped C2v NO(O2) structure, with a De value of 110 cm?1, after correction for BSSE. The favoured geometry seems to suggest that electron repulsion is an important consideration in this species.
