Abstract:
The low-lying electronic states of platinum ions (Pt(+)) and platinum monohalides (PtX; X = F, Cl, Br, and I) are calculated using the multireference configuration interaction method with relativistic effective core potentials. The spin-orbit coupling is taken into account through the perturbative state-interaction approach. For the Ω states of PtX below 35000 cm(-1), the potential energy curves and the corresponding spectroscopic constants are reported. It is found that the lowest Ω = 3/2 state is the ground one for the four species of PtX. Overall, the theoretical results are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data.
