Exploring the spectroscopic constants of 2Πu, 2Σu+ (main and a satellite) and 2Πg states of N2+ ion using the Fock-space coupled-cluster with eigenvalue independent partitioning

Sequential formation of a poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) dication in the H I regions of the interstellar medium (ISM) is proposed to be a function of internal energy of the doubly ionized PAHs, which, in turn, is dependent on the single- and double-ionization potentials of the system. This sets a limit on the single- and double-ionization energies of the system(s) that can further undergo sequential absorption of two photons, leading to a dication (PAH+2). Here, we report the single-ionization (I+1) and double-ionization (I+2) energies and the I+2/I+1 ratio for some selected PAHs and conjugated polyenes obtained using the Fock space coupled cluster technique, enabling simultaneous consideration of several electronic states of different characters. The I+2 to I+1 ratio bears a constant ratio, giving allowance to determine I+2 from the knowledge of single-ionization (I+1) and vice versa. Our observations are in good agreement with the established literature findings, confirming the reliability of our estimates. The measured single- and double-ionization energies further demonstrate that the sequential formation and fragmentation of a PAH dication in the H I regions of the ISM for systems such as benzene and conjugated polyenes such as ethylene and butadiene are quite unlikely because I+2–I+1 for such system(s) is higher than the available photon energy in the H I regions of the ISM. Present findings may be useful to understand the formation and underlying decay mechanisms of multiply charged ions from PAHs and related compounds that may accentuate the exploration of the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity.
