Perchloryl fluoride, FClO(3), has been studied both experimentally and theoretically, using high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy and high-level ab initio methods. The geometry, dipole moment, and anharmonic force field of the molecule have been calculated ab initio, using the coupled-cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)] level of theory. The infrared spectra of monoisotopic species have been recorded. The nu(1) + nu(2) bands of F(35)Cl(16)O(3), F(37)Cl(16)O(3), F(35)Cl(18)O(3), and F(37)Cl(18)O(3), the nu(2) + nu(3) and nu(2) + nu(3) - nu(3) bands of F(35)Cl(16)O(3) and F(37)Cl(16)O(3), and the 2nu(3) - nu(3) band of F(37)Cl(16)O(3) have been analyzed. The spectroscopic parameters obtained from these and from previous analyses have been compared with the theoretical results.

The difficulty of quantum chemically computing vibrational, rotational, and rovibrational reference data via quartic force fields (QFFs) for molecules containing aluminum appears to be alleviated herein using a hybrid approach based upon CCSD(T)-F12b/cc-pCVTZ further corrected for conventional CCSD(T) scalar relativity within the harmonic terms and simple CCSD(T)-F12b/cc-pVTZ for the cubic and quartic terms: the F12-TcCR+TZ QFF. Aluminum containing molecules are theorized to participate in significant chemical processes in both the Earth's upper atmosphere as well as within circumstellar and interstellar media. However, experimental data for the identification of these molecules are limited, showcasing the potential for quantum chemistry to contribute significant amounts of spectral reference data.

Generalized Path Integral Energy and Heat Capacity Estimators of Quantum Oscillators and Crystals Using Harmonic Mapping.

J Chem Theory Comput

Imaginary-time path integral (PI) is a rigorous tool to treat nuclear quantum effects in static properties. However, with its high computational demand, it is crucial to devise precise estimators. We introduce generalized PI estimators for the energy and heat capacity that utilize coordinate mapping.

Ultrastrong coupling limit to quantum mean force Gibbs state for anharmonic environment.

J Chem Phys

Optics and Quantum Information Group, The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, C.I.T. Campus, Taramani, Chennai 600113, India.

The equilibrium state of a quantum system can deviate from the Gibbs state if the system-environment (SE) coupling is not weak. An analytical expression for this mean force Gibbs state (MFGS) is known in the ultrastrong coupling (USC) regime for the Caldeira-Leggett (CL) model that assumes a harmonic environment. Here, we derive analytical expressions for the MFGS in the USC regime for more general SE models.

Article Synopsis
  • - The fundamental frequency of trifluoroiodomethane (CFI) has been challenging to observe directly, and this study analyzes its low-microwave transitions and investigates rotational structure perturbations due to Coriolis interactions.
  • - The initial spectrum showed poor agreement with existing models, leading researchers to refine their approach using anharmonic force-field calculations to better understand interacting vibrational levels.
  • - After fitting 3593 transitions from various sources, the study derived parameters indicating a value of 267.28 cm for one measurement, although a lower possible value of 261.5 cm was also suggested based on vibrational level analysis.
