Theoretical And Computational Studies Of Interstellar C2nH And Sic2m+1H, Ryan C. Fortenberry
Theoretical And Computational Studies Of Interstellar C2nH And Sic2m+1H, Ryan C. Fortenberry
Ryan C. Fortenberry
This work focuses on computation of simulated spectra the C2nH family (n = f1, 2, : : :g) of carbon chain rad- ical molecules and their silicon analogues, SiC2m+1H (m = f0, ng), that are potential carriers of the Di_use Interstellar Bands (DIBs). High-level quantum chem- ical computations for the ground- and excited-states of these radicals indicate agreement with experimen- tal data that the ground-state of C2H is 2Ʃ+ while that of C6H, SiCH, SiC3H, and SiC5H is 2π. On the other hand, most of …
