Abstract
We report first-principles variational simulation of the non-resonant Raman spectrum for the methyl radical (12CH3) in the electronic ground state. Calculations are based on a high level ab initio potential energy and dipole moment surfaces of CH3 and employ the accurate variational treatment of the ro-vibrational dynamics implemented in the general code TROVE [S. N. Yurchenko, W. Thiel, and P. Jensen, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 245, 126–140 (2007); A. Yachmenev and S. N. Yurchenko, J. Chem. Phys. 143, 014105 (2015)]. TROVE can be applied to arbitrary molecules of moderate size and we extend here its capabilities towards simulations of Raman spectra. The simulations for CH3 are found to be in a good agreement with the available experimental data.
Highlights
In a recent publication [1] we reported the computation, by variational methods, of a so-called line list, i.e., a catalogue of absorption lines, valid up to temperatures of 1500 K for the methyl radical CH3 in the electronic ground state
The fundamental band associated with the ν1 mode, of A1 symmetry, is detectable as Raman transition only; it is forbidden in absorption and emission
We study here the symmetric C-H stretch mode, ν1(A1), of CH3 in the electronic ground state
