On the Meyer–Botschwina–Burton potential energy surface for H3+

Abstract
The 87GTO/corrected H3+ potential energy surface of Meyer, Botschwina, and Burton [J. Chem. Phys. 84, 891 (1986)] has been widely used for studies of the H3+ system. It transpires that two slightly different implementations of this surface are in common use. This observation accounts for a number of small discrepancies noted in studies of the higher vibrational states of the ion.
