Abstract
The authors report extensive high-level ab initio studies of the first excited (Ã (2)A(')) state of HO(2). A global potential energy surface (PES) was developed by spline-fitting 17 000 ab initio points at the internal contracted multireference configuration interaction (icMRCI) level with the AVQZ basis set. To ascertain the spectroscopic accuracy of the PES, the near-equilibrium region of the molecule was also investigated using three interpolating moving least-squares-based PESs employing dynamically weighted icMRCI methods in the complete basis set limit. Vibrational energy levels on all four surfaces agree well with each other and a new assignment of some vibrational features is proposed. In addition, the dynamics of both the forward and reverse directions of the H+O(2)(ã (1)Δ(g))↔OH+O reaction (J=0) were studied using an exact wave packet method. The reactions are found to be dominated by sharp resonances.
