摘要
It is shown that the excited singlet (pi pi*) state (V) of planar ethylene in both the Harkee-Fock and pi-electron configuration interaction descriptions is quite diffuse. The extent of the pi*-orbital in the pi-direction as measured by (z(2)) is 42 a(0)(2) in the V state as compared to 2.7 a(0)(2) in the corresponding triplet state (T). In addition, we find that the Hartree-Fock vertical excitation energy for the V state is 7.42 eV as compared to the experimental value of 7.6 eV.
