Abstract
We report new potential energy curves for the X-1 Sigma (+) and A(1) Pi sta tes of the CO molecule by employing the realistic extended Hartree-Fock app roximate correlation energy model for diatomics with inclusion of the unite d-atom limit (EHFACE2U). Special care has been taken to describe the A(1) P i potential maximum, since this affects the vibrational wave functions of t he highest vibrational levels. The corresponding vibronic spectroscopy and Franck-Condon factors (v " = 0, 1) have also been calculated using accurate ah initio transition dipole moments. Comparison has been made with recent theoretical and experimental data. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
