Two-component spin-orbit calculations for the hetero diatomic molecules TlAt and (113)(117) with relativistic effective core potentials

摘要

Bond lengths, harmonic vibrational frequencies and dissociation energies of TlAt and (113)(117) are calculated at the highly correlated level of theory with and without spin-orbit interactions. Spin-orbit effects of Group 13 and Group 17 elements almost cancel out for R-e The spin-orbit effects on D-e of TlAt(-1.20 eV) and (113)(117)(-2.05 eV) are roughly the sum of those of the corresponding element hydrides. Element 113 becomes more electronegative than Element 117 upon inclusion of spin-orbit interactions in the (113)(117) molecule. Electron correlations and spin-orbit effects are almost additive in the TlAt molecule, but the nonadditivity is quite pronounced for the (113)(117) molecule. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.
