Ab initio potential energy surface for H–H2

Ab initio calculations employing large basis sets are performed to determine an accurate potential energy surface for H–H2 interactions for a broad range of separation distances. At large distances, the spherically averaged potential determined from the calculated energies agrees well with the corresponding results determined from dispersion coefficients; the van der Waals well depth is predicted to be 75±3μEh. Large basis sets have also been applied to reexamine the accuracy of theoretical repulsive potential energy surfaces (25–70 kcal/mol above the H–H2 asymptote) at small interatomic separations; the Boothroyd, Keogh, Martin, and Peterson (BKMP) potential energy surface is found to agree with results of the present calculations to within the expected uncertainty (±1 kcal/mol) of the fit. Multipolar expansions of the computed H–H2 potential energy surface are reported for four internuclear separation distances (1.2, 1.401, 1.449, and 1.7a0) of the hydrogen molecule.
