Abstract:
A new high quality three-dimensional potential energy surface for the Ne-CO van der Waals complex is developed using the CCSD(T) method and avqz∕avqz+33221 basis set. The ab initio calculation is performed in a total of 1365 configurations with supermolecule method. There is a single global minimum located in a nearly T-shaped geometry. The global minimum energy is -49.4090 cm(-1) at R(e)=6.40a(0) and θ(e)=82.5(∘) for V(00). Using the three-dimensional potential energy surface, we have calculated bound rovibrational energy levels up to J = 10 including the Coriolis coupling terms. Compared with the experimental transition frequencies, the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The interconnection between standard cell potentials and various thermodynamic parameters such as the standard free energy change ΔG° and equilibrium constant K has been previously explored. For example, a redox reaction involving zinc(II) and tin(II) ions at 1 M concentration with Eºcell = +0.291 V and ΔG° = −56.2 kJ is spontaneous.
