Abstract
Thallium chemistry is experiencing unprecedented importance. Therefore, it is valuable to characterize some of the simplest thallium compounds. Stationary points along the singlet and triplet Tl H potential energy surface have been characterized. Stationary point geometries were optimized with the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pwCVQZ-PP method. Harmonic vibrational frequencies were computed at the same level of theory while anharmonic vibrational frequencies were computed at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pwCVTZ-PP level of theory. Final energetics were obtained with the CCSDT(Q) method. Basis sets up to augmented quintuple-zeta cardinality (aug-cc-pwCV5Z-PP) were employed to obtain energetics in order to extrapolate to the complete basis set limits using the focal point approach. Zero-point vibrational energy corrections were appended to the extrapolated energies in order to determine relative energies at 0 K. It was found that the planar dibridged isomer lies lowest in energy while the linear structure lies highest in energy. The results were compared to other group 13 M H (M = B, Al, Ga, In, and Tl) theoretical studies and some interesting variations are found. With respect to experiment, incompatibilities exist.
