Abstract

Binding energies of the ground

{}^{1}S

states of the alkali negative ions are calculated using the coupled equations of scattering theory, based on semiempirical effective potentials for the neutral atoms. An additional true bound state with configuration

{}^{3}P

lying just below the first excited state of the neutral atom is predicted for every species except

{Li}^{-}
