Abstrakt: Summary We investigate the molecular electronic structure of the quintet states of CO which correspond to the C(3P)+O(3P) interaction at several levels of theory. We find the 15S+ state to be relatively deeply bound (De ca. 587 cm-1) while the other quintets have relatively shallow potential wells (De<40 cm-1) according to our multireference configuration interaction calculations which are counterpoise corrected for basis set superposition effects. Our results are in qualitative accord with the recent semiempirical estimates of Bussery and co-workers [(1989) Chem. Phys. 134:7].
