Electronic Spectra and Ionization Potentials of Halogen Oxides Using the Fock Space Coupled-Cluster Method

Abstract

The ionization potentials and excitation energies of halogen monoxides and dihalogen oxides are studied using fully size-extensive Fock space version of multi-reference coupled-cluster theory. The low-lying excited states of ClO-, FO-, Cl2O and F2O are obtained along with the ionization spectra of Cl2O and F2O. The adiabatic electron affinity of ClO, FO and the vertical detachment energy of ClO- and FO- are also presented.
