Popis: Single determinant Hartree–Fock calculations for the lowest singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces of the H−3 system are presented over a broad range of isosceles triangular configurations of the nuclei. The addition of a diffuse s function to the four‐term Gaussian expansion of Huzinaga for H(1s) together with p type polarization functions produces results which are in agreement with experiments on double electron capture by H+3 to form H−3. The present calculations predict that capture to the ground singlet state produces H2+H−, with a dissociation energy in reasonable agreement with the experimental findings. Capture to the triplet state is predicted to resulted in the three body dissociation H+H+H− with small dissociation energy. This is consistent with, but not positively confirmed by, the experimental data.
