摘要
A comparison is made of various ab initio methods, including density functional methods for the (2) Delta and (2) Sigma states of VC. The calculations confirm that the ground state of VC is the (2) Delta state. A (2) Pi state is not well described by a single configuration. The bond length in the (2) Delta state is 1.65 Angstrom, the dissociation energy 2.9 eV, and the harmonic vibrational frequency is about 733 cm(-1). The B3LYP predictions are good, but not as good as found for TiC and CrC.
