摘要
As part of method assessment for the theoretical study of actinide systems, we have performed I-component relativisric pseudopotential calculations for the uranyl and plutonyl ions. The calculated spectroscopic constants compare well with fully relativisric 4-component results at both the Hartree-Fock and correlated levels of theory. We deduce that second-order spin-orbit effects in these systems are minor and show that the 1-component method chosen (B3LYP in particular) gives reliable results at low computational cost. The ground state of the plutonyl ion has been determined as H-3(6). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
