Rovibrational calculations without model Hamiltonians: The infrared and microwave spectra of thiopropynal

Abstract

AbstractRovibrational configuration interaction theory has been used to study the rotational spectrum and low lying rovibrational states of thiopropynal, a molecule, which has recently been detected in an interstellar cloud. Geometrical parameters, fundamental vibrational transitions and spectroscopic constants are also provided. All calculations rely on an ‐mode representation of the multidimensional potential energy surface, which has been obtained from explicitly correlated coupled‐cluster approaches including core correlation effects and an approximate treatment of high‐order coupled‐cluster terms. Comparison with experimental data is provided for several properties and the agreement was found to be excellent in most cases.
