Dipole oscillator strength properties and dispersion energy coefficients for H2S

Abstract

Globally reliable dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSDs) have been constructed for the H2S molecule in its ground state. An adopted DOSD is used to evaluate a variety of dipole oscillator strength sums Sk, logarithmic dipole sums Lk, and mean excitation energies Ik, for H2S; these dipole properties are important in various physical processes. It is also used to obtain reliable results for the dipole–dipole dispersion energy coefficients C6 for the interaction of H2S with itself, and with thirty-nine other atoms and (mostly) molecules, and the triple-dipole dispersion energy coefficient C9 for (H2S)3. A pseudo-DOSD for H2S is presented which facilitates the evaluation of C6's, and in particular C9's.
