Electronic structure calculations have been performed to characterize the potential energy surface of the LiSH. For such, molecular properties have been calculated using two different levels of theories: DFT/B3LYP and CASSCF. As results, the obtained equilibrium geometry at CAS(8,13)/VQZ level of theory is RLi-S = 4.0975 a0, RS-H = 2.5502 a0, and θ = 93.37°. The present vibrational harmonic frequencies are in good agreement with those previously reported in the literature. Our results show the overall endothermicity of the Li(²P) + SH(X²Π) → H(2S) + LiS(X²Π) to be about 0.508 eV without ZPE corrections at CAS(8,13)/VQZ. Besides, the role of the molecular singlet-triplet transitions, essential for the interpretation of the phosphorescence spectra, is discussed. Overall, the present findings reproduced well the experimental ones and, therefore, can be used as a benchmark for other theoretical and experimental studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
