Popis: Non-empirical calculations of CASSCF energies, electric dipole moments, Einstein coefficients, matrix elements of the operator of spin-orbital interaction between states of different multiplicity in a model complex 6,8[Mn-O2] of C 2v symmetry have been made in 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G** basis sets. The crosssections of the potential energy surface (PES) of the ground and excited states were built. It is found that oxygen bonding to manganese is possible when excited atoms of manganese collide with molecular oxygen, singlet oxygen with Mn[6 S 5/2] atoms, or in a close contact O2[X3Σ g − ] + Mn[6 S 5/2] and is determined by charge transfer states 6,8CTS(Mn+O 2 − ). Mechanisms of singlet oxygen activation/deactivation are determined by a considerably increased probability of electric dipole transitions b 1Σ g + −a 1Δg, a 1Δg−X3Σ g − , b 1Σ g + −X3Σ g − induced in oxygen in the collision process.
