Th quilibrium intrnuclar distanc, dissociation nrgy, harmonic frquncy, vibrational zro nrgy, and adiabatic xcitation nrgy ar calculatd using a symmtry-adaptd-clustr configuration-intraction mthod in complt activ spac in Gaussian03 program packag at such numrous basis sts as 6-311++G, 6-311++G(2df,2pd), 6-311++G(2df,p), cc-pvtz, 6-311++G(3df,3pd), CEP-121G, 6-311++G(2df,pd), 6-311++G(d,p),6-311G(3df,3pd), D95(3df,3pd), 6-311++G(3df,2p), 6-311++G(2df), 6-311++G(df,pd) D95V++, and DGDZVP. Th complt potntial nrgy curvs ar obtaind at ths sts ovr a wid intrnuclar distanc rang and hav last squars fittd to Murrll Sorbi function. Th conclusion shows that th basis st 6-311++G(2df,p) is a most suitabl on for th G 1 Π g stat. At this basis st, th calculatd spctroscopic constants T, D, E 0, R, ω, ω χ, α, and B ar of 3.9523 V, 0.813 06 V, 113.56 cm 1, 0.320 15 nm, 227.96 cm 1, 1.6928 cm 1, 0.004 436 cm 1, and 0.4689 cm 1, rspctivly, which ar in good agrmnt with masurmnts whnvr availabl. Th total 50 vibrational lvls and corrsponding inrtial rotation constants ar for th first tim calculatd and compard with availabl RKR data. And good agrmnt with masurmnts is obtaind. PACS numbrs: 31.50.Df, 31.15.Ar Ky words: vibrational frquncy, dissociation nrgy, Li 2, ab initio calculations 1 Introduction On of th most important problms in th fild of atomic and molcular physics is to obtain rliabl physical modls of bonding potntials so as to thoroughly undrstand molcular spctroscopic proprtis, sinc quantitativ molcular spctroscopic knowldg can b drivd from th molcular analytic potntial nrgy function (APEF). [1] Nowadays, with th dvlopmnt of modrn quantum chmical mthods and powrful computrs, ab initio calculations can giv mor and mor accurat potntial nrgy curv (PEC) with srial points, spcially for small molculs. And it is availabl to fit ths ab initio data using a suitabl analytic function with a root-man squar rror (RMSE) lowr than th chmical accuracy (1.0 Kcal/mol). [2] Thus, thr is a long-standing intrst in simpl yt rliabl analytical modls of chmical potntials, which should idally consist of physically idntifiabl trms and which should b basd on a limitd numbr of availabl thortical data. Li 2 is th simplst stabl homonuclar diatomics, nxt to H 2. Numrous thortical and xprimntal invstigations [3 13] hav bn publishd about its ground and low-lying xcitd singlt and triplt stats. Howvr, studis on th highly xcitd stat G 1 Π g can hardly b found in th litraturs. [14 16] Th most rcnt xprimnts hav bn mad by Brnhim t al., [16] who publishd two possibl dissociation nrgis, on is 6390 cm 1 if th rasonabl dissociation limit corrsponds to (2 2 P )+ (2 2 P ), th othr is 7507 cm 1 if th rasonabl dissociation limit corrsponds to (2 2 P ) + (3 2 S). Ths valus wr basd on th most likly ground potntial valu of 8450 cm 1 givn by Konowalow t al. [17] Th most rcnt calculations hav bn prformd by Potau t al., [15] who only calculatd th quilibrium intrnuclar sparation R, dissociation nrgy D, harmonic frquncy ω, and adiabatic xcitation T. It is a pity that thy did not gav any othr information, such as th spctroscopic constants ω χ, E 0, and B, vibrational lvls G(ν), and inrtial rotation constants B ν. And no APEF can b found in th publications to dat. In this papr, w attmpt to calculat th accurat APEF and driv th main molcular spctroscopic proprtis. Compard with prvious thoris, this work shows xcllnt agrmnt with xprimnts, [16] and is mor complt ffort than prvious thoris. Thus, it is ncouraging. In this papr, th main spctroscopic constants, total 50 vibrational lvls and corrsponding inrtial rotation constants of th G 1 Π g stat for dimr 7 Li 2 ar calculatd using a symmtry-adaptd-clustr configurationintraction (SAC-CI) mthod [18,19] in full activ spac in Gaussian03 program packag. [19] In th nxt sction, w dscrib in dtail th dissociation limit and rcalculat th xprimntal dissociation nrgy for this stat.

No. 6 Accurat Analytic Potntial Enrgy Function and Spctroscopic Study for G 1 Π g Stat of Dimr 7 Li 2 1115 w prsnt th computd rsults and mak som usful discussion about thm. Concluding rmarks ar mad in Sc. 4. 2 Dissociation Limit for th G 1 Π g Stat Obviously, th APEF is diffrnt whn an lctronic stat is dissociatd in diffrnt channls. In ordr to corrctly calculat and dscrib th APEF of an lctronic stat, w must dtrmin its rasonabl dissociation limit. Th configuration of th ground Li atom is 1s 2 2s 1. Whn on lctron in 2s orbital is xcitd, th configurations 1s 2 2p 1, 1s 2 3s 1, 1s 2 3p 1, 1s 2 4s 1, 1s 2 3d 1 and so on can b formd. Whn an atom is in th configuration 1s 2 2s 1, 1s 2 3s 1 or 1s 2 4s 1, its atomic group rprsntation is 2 S g. And whn an atom is in th configuration 1s 2 2p 1 or 1s 2 3p 1, its atomic group rprsntation is 2 P u. If two Li atoms in th dissociation limit ar both in th ground stat, basd on th group thory and atomic and molcular raction statics, [20] th rprsntation 2 S g can b rsolvd into thos of D h (Li 2 ) as follows: Thir dirct product and rduction ar 2 S g 2 Σ + g. (1) 2 Σ + g 2 Σ + g 1 Σ + g 3 Σ + u. (2) It is obvious that quation (2) contains 1 Σ + g. According to th principl of rvrsibility for th microscopic procss, [20] th dissociation limit for th ground stat X 1 Σ + g may b Li 2 (X 1 Σ + g ) Li( 2 S g ) + Li( 2 S g ). (3) Whn two Li atoms in th dissociation limit ar both in th configuration 1s 2 2p 1, basd on th abov-mntiond rason, th rprsntation 2 P u is rsolvd into thos of D h (Li 2 ) as follows: 2 P u 2 Σ + u 2 Π u. (4) Thir dirct product and rduction ar 2 Σ + u 2 Π u ( 2 Σ + u 2 Π u ) 1 Σ + g (2) 1 Σ u 1 Π g 1 Π u 1 g 3 Σ + u (2) 3 Σ g 3 Π g 3 Π u 3 u. (5) Equation (5) contains 1 Π g. According to th principl of rvrsibility for th microscopic procss, [20] th dissociation limit for th G 1 Π g stat may b Li 2 (G 1 Π u ) Li( 2 P u ) + Li( 2 P u ). (6) Whn on Li atom in th dissociation limit is in th 1s 2 2s 1 and th othr in th 1s 2 2p 1, sinc 2 S g 2 Σ + g, 2 P u 2 Σ + u 2 Π u and 2 Σ + g 2 Σ + u 2 Π u ) 1 Σ + u 3 Σ + u 1 Π u 3 Π u, according to th principl of rvrsibility for th microscopic procss, [20] th dissociation limit may also b Li 2 (G 1 Π u ) Li( 2 S g ) + Li( 2 P u ). (7) Fig. 1 Potntial nrgy curvs of th ground and xcitd stats for a molcul. Fig. 2 PEC of th xcitd dimr Li 2. As shown in Fig. 1, th atomic xcitation nrgy E a for an xcitd stat of a molcul quals, E a = D + T D 0. (8) Hr, D is th dissociation nrgy for a givn xcitd stat. D 0 is th dissociation nrgy for th ground stat and quals 8517 cm 1 (about 1.0561 V) for dimr 7 Li 2, which has takn into considration th vibrational zro nrgy. [21] T is th adiabatic xcitation nrgy from th ground to a givn stat. And E a is th atomic xcitation nrgy sum

It has bn provd that quation (1) is th Li 2 ground-stat dissociation limit, in which th two sparatd atoms ar both in th ground stat. [22] According to Tabl 1, [23] th xcitation nrgy sum of th two Li atoms in th dissociation limit quals zro. Tabl 1 Enrgy lvls of two lithium atoms in svral lctronic configurations.

Thrfor, E a = 3.709 26 V ( 29 913 cm 1 ) can b obtaind. According to Tabl 1, w conclud that th two Li atoms in th dissociation limit for this stat must b both in th configuration 1s 2 2p 1. Thus th rasonabl dissociation limit for th G 1 Π g stat must b Li 2 (G 1 Π u ) Li( 2 P u ) + Li( 2 P u ). (9) In th nxt, w rcalculat th xprimntal G 1 Π g stat dissociation nrgy according to th most rcnt ground stat dissociation nrgy [21] and th G 1 Π g stat T valu (about 31 868 cm 1 ) masurd in Rf. [16]. In th light of Eq. (8), D = 6457 cm 1 (about 0.800 67 V) is attaind. 3 Rsults and Discussion Th calculations dscribd hr ar prformd in Gaussian03 program packag. [19] By gomtry optimization (OPT) calculations for th G 1 Π g stat, w hav attaind th R valus at such basis sts as D95(3df,3pd), 6-311++G(2df,2pd), 6-311G(3df,3pd), 6-311++G(3df,2p), DGDZVP, 6-311++G(2df,p), CEP-121G, 6-311++G(2df,pd), 6-311++G(3df, 3pd), 6-311++G(2df), 6-311++G(df,pd), 6-311++G(d,p), D95V++, 6-311++G, and cc-pvtz. Som of th rsults ar tabulatd in Tabl 2. At th sam tim, by fin singl-point nrgy scanning (SPES) calculations nar th xprimntal quilibrium position at th sam basis st at a vry tiny intrval of 0.01 a 0, w hav obtaind th R valus, too. Som of th rsults ar also tabulatd in Tabls 2 and 3. Obviously, from Tabl 2 w can s that th two approachs, namd OPT and SPES, giv diffrnt quilibrium intrnuclar sparations at th sam basis st. It is asily undrstood, bcaus th uniqu GSUM algorithm usd in th SPES calculations is incompltly idntical with th on usd in th OPT computations. [18,19] It is th rason that th rsult obtaind by SPES calculations is quit intgratd into PEC, and all th spctroscopic proprtis including th quilibrium intrnuclar sparation can b drivd from APEF, thus th rsult obtaind by th SPES calculations should b mor rasonabl. Tabl 2 Comparison of quilibrium intrnuclar sparations (in nm) obtaind by OPT and by SPES calculations for th G 1 Π g stat of dimr 7 Li 2. 6-311++(df,pd) 6-311++G(2df,2pd) 6-311++G 6-311++G(2df,pd) 6-311++G(3df,2p) 6-311++G(2df,p) OPT 0.320 86 0.322 10 0.324 33 0.322 10 0.324 30 0.322 10 SPES 0.322 27 0.320 68 0.323 86 0.320 68 0.322 27 0.320 15 Thn, w comput th PECs for this stat at th abov-mntiond basis sts through th quilibrium positions obtaind by SPES at 0.3 a 0 intrvals. In ordr to guarant PEC convrgnc, th calculatd intrnuclar sparation rang should b larg nough at ach basis st. Murrll Sorbi (M-S) function is a widly usd potntial nrgy function, whos form is [24] n V (ρ) = D (1 + a i ρ i) xp( a 1 ρ), (10) i=1 whr ρ = R R, R is th intrnuclar distanc of diatomics. R is rgardd as a fixd paramtr in th fitting procss, which is attaind by fin SPES calculations in this papr. Th paramtrs a i ar dtrmind by th fitting mthod using ab initio data.

(10) ar fittd at various basis sts. In ordr to attain satisfactory rsults, w try it from n = 3 to n = 8, and find th bst rsults for n = 6. From th fitting rsults, th quadratic forc constant f 2 is calculatd, f 2 = D (a 2 1 2a 2 ). (11) According to th RKR mthod, w hav ω = f 2 8πcµR 2, (12) whr µ and c ar th rducd mass of dimr 7 Li 2 and th vlocity of light in vacuum, rspctivly. Th calculatd ω valus ar listd in Tabl 3, too. Tabl 3 tabulats T, D, R, ω, and th vibrational zro nrgy E 0 of th G 1 Π g stat at various basis sts. From ths rsults w find that th basis st 6-311++G(2df,p) [25,26] is an xcllnt on, sinc th calculatd T, R, and ω valus at this basis st ar in agrmnt with th masurmnts [16] within 0.0006 V or 0.015%, 0.000 01 nm or 0.003%, and 1.3 cm 1 or 0.567%, rspctivly, though D is somwhat largr than th masurmnts [16] by 0.012 36 nm or 1.579%. Thus, furthr calculations will b prformd using th APEF obtaind at th basis st 6-311++G(2df,p). Tabl 4 Paramtrs of M-S APEF for 7 Li 2(G 1 Π g) at th SAC-CI/6-311++G(2df,p) lvl of thory.

At th sam tim, in ordr to invstigat th PEC dtails of this stat, th ab initio data ar tabulatd in Tabl 5, and th fitting rsults and th curv of th ab initio calculatd points ovr th intrnuclar sparation rang from about 2.4a 0 to 37a 0 ar intuitivly illustratd in Fig. 2, too. In ordr to valuat th fitting quality of APEF at 6-311++G(2df,p), w calculat th RMSE, RMSE = 1 N (V APEF V ab initio ) N 2, (13) i=1 whr V APEF and V ab initio ar nrgis attaind by th fitting and ab initio calculations, rspctivly. N is th numbr of fittd points (hr N = 116). Th prsnt RMSE for th G 1 Π g stat is only 0.0026 V ( 0.06 Kcal/mol).
