Abstract:
Four-dimensional ab initio intermolecular potential energy surfaces (PESs) for CH3F-He that explicitly incorporates dependence on the Q3 stretching normal mode of the CH3F molecule and are parametrically dependent on the other averaged intramolecular coordinates have been calculated. Analytical three-dimensional PESs for v3(CH3F) = 0 and 1 are obtained by least-squares fitting the vibrationally averaged potentials to the Morse/Long-Range potential function form. With the 3D PESs, we employ Lanczos algorithm to calculate rovibrational levels of the dimer system. Following some re-assignments, the predicted transition frequencies are in good agreement with experimental microwave data for ortho-CH3F, with the root-mean-square deviation of 0.042 cm(-1). We then provide the first prediction of the infrared and microwave spectra for the para-CH3F-He dimer. The calculated infrared band origin shifts associated with the ν3 fundamental of CH3F are 0.039 and 0.069 cm(-1) for para-CH3F-He and ortho-CH3F-He, respectively.
