Potential energy curves for the low lying electronic states of K+ 2 from ab initio calculations with all electrons correlated Patrycja Skupin, Monika Musial∗, Stanislaw A. Kucharski Institute of Chemistry University of Silesia Szkolna 9, 40-006 Katowice, Poland January 26, 2017

Abstract The electron affinity (EA) calculations based on the equation-of-motion coupled cluster method proved to be an efficient scheme in the treatment of potential energy curves (PECs) for alkali molecular ions, Me+ 2 . The EA approach provides description of states obtained by an +2 attachment of one electron to the reference which for the Me+ 2 is a doubly ionized Me2 system.

The latter has a very concrete advantage in the calculations of the PECs since it dissociates into + + the closed-shell fragments (Me+2 2 → Me +Me ) hence the restricted Hartree-Fock reference

can be used in the whole range of interatomic distances. In this work accurate potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants are obtained for the six lowest lying electronic states of the K+ 2 ion. The relativistic effects are included by adding appropriate terms of the DK (DouglasKroll) Hamiltonian to the one-electron integrals. ∗

Introduction There is a growing interest in the experimental and theoretical studies of the alkali metal di-

atomic molecular systems. The motivation for this is connected with the possible use of alkali diatomics in the studies of ultracold collision and reactions dynamics and other effects occurring in the photodissociation processes.1, 2 The possible applications can be related both to the neutral hetero and homonuclear diatomics as well as to the molecular ions. Hence the accurate quantum chemical calculations can be of help in proper understanding of the nature of the interatomic interactions. However, a majority of theoretical studies focused on the alkali metal diatomics have been based on the model potential methods (MPM) or on the effective core potential (ECP) theories used to replace the effect of the inner-shell electrons. Within this approach the molecular ion Me+ 2 is treated as a system with one electron moving in the field of two atomic cores. This is the case 3–12 also for the K+ are based on the ECP or MPM 2 system for which nearly all theoretical works

approaches with one exception of Ref.3 using open-shell formulation of the coupled cluster (CC) theory. Recently13–21 we have studied dissociation process via the CC theory22–30 for the alkali metal diatomics. The correct description of the potential energy curves (PECs) for the single bond is still a challenge for quantum chemistry methods29, 31 since the homolytic dissociation of a single bond results in the disintegration of the closed-shell molecule into open-shell fragments. The quantum chemical description of such process is difficult since neither RHF (Restricted Hartree Fock) nor UHF (Unrestricted HF) provides a convenient reference function for the whole range of interatomic distances. The ideal situation occurs when the closed-shell molecule dissociates into closed-shell fragments. Such a case arises when we dissociate a double positive ion instead of the neutral molecule or its

However, the double positive ion of the K+2 2 dissociates as: K2+2 → K + + K +

(2)

and we obtain closed-shell products, K+ , isoelectronic with the Ar atom. The above scheme can be used in the production of PECs for the K+ 2 ion on condition that the applied method is capable to describe the system after attachment of one electron to the reference. In the framework of the coupled cluster theory we have so called EA (electron attachment) scheme formulated within the EOM (equation-of-motion) theory.32–49 In the current study we focus on calculations of the six lowest lying electronic states of K+ 2 ion for large basis sets and EA-EOM-CCSD (S-Singles, D-Doubles) scheme. We use both relativistic approach based on the second-order Douglas-Kroll formalism (DK2)50–55 as well as the standard nonrelativistic formulation. These are the first of such type calculations for this cation with all electrons correlated - on one hand, and also with inclusion of the relativistic corrections - on the other. In the next sections we present the synopsis of the theory and later on we discuss characteristics 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 2 of the six lowest lying electronic states (12 Σ+ g , 1 Σu , 2 Σg , 2 Σu , 1 Πg , 1 Πu ), i.e., PECs together

Methods In the coupled cluster22, 25–30 method the wave function is expressed as: Ψ0 = eT |Φ0 i

(3)

where T is a cluster operator being a sum of operators responsible for the electronic excitations. For the CCSD variant the T operator is represented as T = T1 + T2 . The |Φ0 i is a reference function, i.e., a Slater determinant constructed - in the current approach - with the RHF orbitals. The first step in the calculations is solving the RHF equations and then those of the CCSD method for the reference system: in our case - K+2 2 . The electron attached states, |Ψk i, are parameterized in a linear fashion as: |Ψk i = R(k)|Ψ0 i

The main part of the results is obtained with the EA-CCSD scheme but in one example we are applying also the more advanced model EA-CCSDT (T=Triples) including in full manner the T3 cluster responsible for triple excitations. In our case EA-CCSDT means solving the CC equation for the reference state at the CCSDT level and next solving the EA-EOM equations assuming that the R(k) operator includes also the R3 operator R3 =

The size of the EOM matrix, NEOM , can be expressed as NEOM = N1 + N2 + N3 + · · ·

By introducing spin-adapted form the size of the EOM matrix will be significantly reduced and we may estimate the number of spin-adapted configurations obtained by the Rk operators. It is obvious that R1 creates only the doublet configurations hence we have the following relation ND(R1 ) = N1

(16)

where ND(R1 ) represents the number of doublets created by the R1 operator. Similarly, N2 represents the number of doublets and quartets created by the R2 , and, analogously, N3 includes doublets, quartets and sextets obtained by the action of the R3 operator. The number of quartets included in N2 can be easily calculated as NQ(R2 ) = no nv (nv − 1)/2

(17)

from which the number of doublets at the R2 level follows immediately as ND(R2 ) = N2 − NQ(R2 )

(18)

In analogous manner we may determine the number of spin-adapted configurations generated by the R3 operator: first the sextets NS(R3 ) as NS(R3 ) = no (no − 1)nv (nv − 1)(nv − 2)/12

(19)

next the quartets NQ(R3 ) as NQ(R3 ) = n2o nv (nv − 1)(nv − 2)/6 + no (no − 1)n2v (nv − 1)/4 − NS(R3 )

(20)

and finally the doublets ND(R3 ) as ND(R3 ) = N3 − NQ(R3 ) − NS(R3 )

In our approach, however, we use generalized Davidson diagonalization scheme to extract only several lowest eigenvalues out of the full spectrum. A crucial step in this procedure is taking product ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Results and Discussion 56 A suitable software to carry out calculations for the K+ 2 system seems to be the GAMESS

program package which offers the possibility to do relativistic57 as well as high-level correlated calculations.46, 58, 59 The original version of GAMESS has been supplemented with the local version of the EA-EOM-CC module.37, 43 For all calculations the RHF function for the K+2 cation has 2 been adopted as a reference in accordance with the overall computational strategy presented in previous sections. In principle two basis sets were used in the calculations. The first one denoted as ANO-RCC+ represents uncontracted ANO-RCC basis set of Roos et al.60 with additional two diffuse functions for the s, d shells with exponents 0.00287, 0.00115, 0.10705, 0.04250, respectively. The ANO-RCC+ basis set was used in the standard nonrelativistic calculations. The other basis set employed in second-order Douglas-Kroll relativistic calculations is referred to as SPKRAQZP and is known in the literature as Sapporo-DK-QZP+diffuse set.61 The size of the ANO-RCC+ basis set is 268 and the SPKRAQZP - 196.

Atomic calculations In Table 1 we compare the energy of the electronic states of molecular ion at the infinite separation of atoms obtained with the EA-EOM-CCSD to the sum of the energies of the separated K and K+ . For size-extensive methods the two energy values should be identically equal and this situation occurs in the current case. For the ground state we compare the sum of the total electronic energies obtained withe the CCSD scheme for the K+ ion and with the EA-CCSD method for the neutral K atom (see column 4 in Table 1) to the molecular energy for the K+ 2 obtained with EA-CCSD at the interatomic distance R=1000 ˚ A (column 5 in Table 1). For the excited atomic state the energy of the 2 P (4p) and 2 S(5s) terms is compared to the excitation energy of the molecular ion K+ 2 at the dissociation limit. In all cases the compared values are identically the same. The computed values of the energy of 2 P and 2 S terms provide an information on the quality of the basis set. The Douglas-Kroll calculations for the Sapporo basis set provide the energy values differing from experiment by ca. 0.01 eV and the same is true for the ANO-RCC+ basis set used in the nonrelativistic calculations. Molecular calculations We computed potential energy curves for the six states converging to two dissociation limits: K + + K(4s) and K + + K(4p). Due to the fact that the closed-shell reference system (K+2 2 ) dissociates into the closed-shell fragments both SCF and CC calculations easily converge even for large interatomic distances. In Fig. 1 we present the potential energy curves obtained with the Sapporo 2 + + basis set for all considered states. Energies of the 12 Σ+ g and 1 Σu converge to K + K(4s) limit 2 + 2 2 + while remaining four curves 22 Σ+ g , 2 Σu ,1 Πg and 1 Πu converge to the K + K(4p) asymptote.

basis set superposition error (BSSE) using counterpoise (CP) correction method. Below we discuss in more detail both sets of PECs. Dissociation limit K + + K(4s) In Fig. 2 two potential energy curves corresponding to the 12 Σ+ g state are shown, the lower one - generated in the relativistic calculations (DK2) and the upper one obtained in the standard nonrelativistic (NR) approach. Both curves represent typical Morse type shape with the minima occurring nearly at the same value of Re . In Table 2 we provide the values of selected spectroscopic constants. The Re obtained at the CCSD level for both types of calculations differs only by 0.004 ˚ A. However, the deviation from the experimental value is larger amounting to ca. 0.11 ˚ A. The De value in DK2 calculations differs from the experiment by 218 wavenumbers while in those based on the NR ANO-RCC+ basis set - by 77 wavenumbers. The computed harmonic frequency differs from the experimental value by 0.1 cm−1 for the DK2 calculations with slightly larger error for the NR results. The anharmonic correction ωe xe is off the experiment by 0.02 cm−1 : 0.18 vs. 0.20 cm−1 both for the DK2 and NR ANO-RCC+ calculations, see Table 2. To assess the quality of our correlated calculations or, in other words, to estimate the importance of the triple excitations, we have done – for the 11 Σ+ g state only – also the EA-EOM-CCSDT calculations. The EA-EOM-CCSDT approach, as described in Ref.,43 relies on the full inclusion of the triple excitation operator both at the ground state level and in the EOM part. In these calculations we used standard ANO-RCC basis set and the results indicate minor effect connected with the full inclusion of the triple excitations. Going from EA-CCSD to EA-CCSDT we observe the change in Re of 0.007 ˚ A and of 7 cm−1 in De , see Table 2. The BSSE error computed at the CCSD level, small but nonnegligible is equal to 5 cm−1 (the CP corrected De value equals to 6588 cm−1 (NR ANO-RCC+ result)).

In order to 2 ) or two-electron (neutral Me2 molecule) Schr¨ assess the effect of inner shells correlation we carried out calculation for the single valence electron +2 calculations for the studied K+ 2 ion with frozen inner electron orbitals taken from the RHF K2

(ANO-RCC+ basis set). The resulting PEC is shown in Fig. 3 (upper curve) and the respective spectroscopic constants are given in Table 2 (see the line next to the experimental values). By freezing the core we introduced relatively large errors. The Re value is off by 0.5 ˚ A and De is too low by ca. 700 cm−1 . We may notice also that the curvature of the of PEC obtained with the frozen core is changed which is revealed in the harmonic frequency value of 63.6 cm−1 (cf. ωe (exp)=73.4 and DK2 result of 73.3 cm−1 ). + In Fig. 4 we demonstrate the DK2 PEC for the 12 Σ+ u state, converging also to the K + K(4s)

limit. The curve shows very shallow minimum with De value of 204 cm−1 obtained in the DK2 calculations (or 82 cm−1 resulting from the NR approach), see Table 2. The computed Re being equal to ca. 11.8 ˚ A indicates a long-range bound state. Although the well depth is small the harmonic frequency value is equal to approximately 6 wavenumbers hence the number of vibrational levels is still large. Note that the BSSE error for this state turns out to be negligible, amounting to 0.02 cm−1 . Dissociation limit K + + K(4p) In the next group of states converging to the K + + K(4p) limit we have one curve corresponding to the 12 Πg state which indicates its repulsive nature, see Fig. 1. Among remaining three curves we 2 2 + have two states, shown in Fig. 5, with well formed minima: 22 Σ+ g and 1 Πu and one state, 2 Σu ,

shown in Fig. 6, for which the bonding effect is very small, of similar nature as the first state of that symmetry (cf. Fig. 4). The energy minimum for the 12 Πu occurs around 5.09 ˚ A (DK2) or 5.05 ˚ A (NR) which indicates a short-bond nature of this state. The DK2 value of De equal to 2847 cm−1 is larger by ca. 400 cm−1 compared to the NR one. A similar relation between DK2 and NR results ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Conclusions The first principle quantum chemical calculations are applied in the theoretical study of the

potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants for the six lowest lying electronic states of the K+ 2 ion. The originality of the results stems from the fact – on one hand – that all 37 electrons were correlated at the EOM-CCSD or EOM-CCSDT level and – on the other – that the relativistic corrections at the DK2 level were taken into account. In order to do that local version of EA-EOMCC module was interfaced to the GAMESS package. The results remain in a satisfactory agreement with available experimental data for the spectroscopic parameters. An important thing in obtaining high accuracy results is an adoption of a proper reference system which in our case is the K+2 2 ion dissociating into a closed-shell fragments which made it possible to use the RHF function for the whole range of interatomic distances.
