The low-lying electronic states of YO2− and YO2 were studied using the SAC-CI theory. The vertical excitation spectra of YO2− and YO2 were calculated. For YO2−, the X1A1 state, five valence-bound singlet–triplet pair states (21A1/13A1, 11A2/13A2, 11B1/13B1, 11B2/13B2, and 21B2/23B2), and one dipole-bound singlet–triplet pair states (1B2(DB)/3B2(DB)) were investigated. For YO2, the X2B2, 12A1/22A', 22A1, 12A2, 12B1/12A“, and 22B2 states were studied. The geometries of these anionic and neutral states were optimized. The adiabatic electron detachment energies from the anionic states to the neutral states can be obtained from these computed results. The vertical electron detachment energies from the X1A1 state of YO2− to the low-lying doublet states of YO2 were calculated and compared with previous experimental photoelectron spectra. Density functional theories (B3LYP, BPW91, and BP86) were also employed to compute the low-lying electronic states of YO2– and YO2 for comparison. |
