Ab initio study of spectroscopic constants and anharmonic force field of 74GeCl2.
The equilibrium structure, spectroscopy constants, and anharmonic force field of germanium dichloride have been calculated at MP2, B3LYP, and CCSD(T) levels of theory employing two basis sets, cc-pVDZ and cc-pVTZ, respectively. The computed geometries, rotational constants, and vibration-rotation interaction constants, and quartic centrifugal distortion constants are compared with the available experimental data. The harmonic frequencies, anharmonic constants, and cubic and quartic force constants are predicted. The calculated results show that the MP2 results are in excellent agreement with experiment and represent a substantial improvement over the results obtained from B3LYP. The CCSD(T) method is also an advisable choice to study anharmonic force field of molecules.
