The structural optimization for the ground state (X1Σ+) of SiO molecule has been calculated using density functional theory B3P86 method with the basis sets STO-3G, D95**, 6-311G, 6-311++G, 6-311++G** and cc-PVTZ. The conclusion is draun by comparison that the basis set cc-PVTZ is the most suitable for the structural optimization calculation of the ground state (X1Σ+) of SiO molecule. The analytical potential energy curve for the ground state (X1Σ+) of SiO molecule is scanned using B3P86/cc-PVTZ method, and then fitted to the Murrell-Sorbie function using least squares. At last the spectroscopy constants (Be,αe,ωe and ωeχe) related to the analytical potential energy function are calculated and compared with the experimental data.
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.
