Abstract

Potential energy, electric dipole, and electronic transition moment functions have been calculated for several bound electronic states of CH₂ and NH - from accurate electronic wave functions. Spectroscopic constants for the X 2 Π state of NH - have been compared with the data recently obtained by laser induced autodetachment spectroscopy. Spectroscopic constants of the A 2 Σ + state of NH - and radiative X 2 Π-A 2 Σ + transition probabilities are presented. Spectroscopic constants and infrared transition probabilities for the X 3 Σ - and the a¹Δ states of CH₂ have been calculated. The radiative lifetime of v=1 in CH₂ (X 3 Σ - ) is found to be in a very good agreement with a recent experimental value. The transition probabilities are for both ions much larger than those of their neutral counterparts, and increase in the series OH - , NH - , CH₂ . © 1986 American Institute of Physics.
