Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations are performed using Gaussian16W Software to theoretically investigate the response of Li2 molecule to external electric field. Ground state properties of Li2 molecule in the presence of electric field are modelled using Density Functional Theory(CAM-B3LYP/[6-311++G(3df,3pd)]) while excited states are modelled using Symmetry Adapted Cluster Configuration Interaction theory and 6-311++G∗∗ basis set. The effect of external electric field on ground state properties including structural (bond length, total energy, harmonic vibrational frequency and rotational constant), electronic (dipole moment and polarizability) and thermodynamic (vibrational contribution to partition function, thermal energy, entropy and specific heat capacity) properties is reported. External electric field modifies the charge distribution within the molecule and hence its molecular properties. Potential energy curves and transition dipole moments of 22 states (13Singlet + 9Triplet) are also reported. The computed parameters agree well with the experimental data wherever the later is available.
