A b i n i t i o potential energy curves for the low-lying electronic states of N22+

Abstract
Potential energy curves have been calculated for N2(X 1Σg+), N2+(X 2Σg+), and for the low‐lying 3Σg, 1Σg+, 3Πu, 1Πu and 3Πg states of N22+ using SCF techniques. Two different Gaussian basis sets were employed and N22+ curves were determined over a range of internuclear distance from 1.80 to 4.00 bohr. These curves were then used to calculate equilibrium internuclear distances, harmonic and anharmonic vibrational constants, and ionization potentials for the various N22+ states.
