Etude théorique de la dissociation de NO par attachement électronique — courbes de potential ab initio de différents états excités de NO −

Abstract

Potential curves of the first excited states of NO and NO − were produced using molecular orbital configuration interaction (MO-CI) ab initio methods. Electron attachment dissociations were explained using these curves. The most important dissociation observed, N( 2D) + O-( 2P), seems to involve π states (singlet and triplet) or a 1Δ state. Widths of the resonance states 3σ −, 1Δ and 1σ + were calculated.
