Abstract
Spectroscopic properties and potential energy curves of alkali metal (M = Na and K) – rare gas (Rg = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe and Rn) van der Waals molecules in their ground states have been studied in detail using spin-restricted open-shell coupled cluster with single and double excitations and perturbative contribution of connected triple excitations (RCCSD(T)) methods. The core-valence correlation (CV) effect was found to be crucial for M-RG molecules containing heavy rare gas atoms. The electronic energies were corrected for the basis set superposition error (BSSE) using the counterpoise method. Energies were extrapolated to the complete basis set (CBS) limit using a two-point scheme. The permanent electric dipole moments, static electric dipole polarizabilities and long-range dispersion coefficients were also calculated. The computed spectroscopic constants, vibrational levels and rotational constants were reported for M-RG and good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical values were found.
