Popis: The spin-coupled valence bond method is used to calculate potential energy curves of 1Π symmetry for the process C3+(2s) + Li(2p) → C2+ (nln′l′; 1 L) + Li2+(1s 2). A total of ten states is considered and several crossings are found. Excitations into virtual orbitals of δ symmetry are found to make important contributions to the correlation energy. Future work will concentrate on the calculation of matrix elements of δ/δR for this and related systems.
