Abstract
Configuration interaction calculations with extensive basis sets have been performed on $CS_{2}$ as a means of unravelling the nature of its excited electronic states. In contrast to conclusions derived from previous spectroscopic measurements, our ab initio results suggest that the bent $V^{1}B_{2}$ state corresponds to the lower component of the Renner-Teller doublet obtained from the $^{1}\Delta_{u}$ state of linear $CS_{2}$. The equilibrium geometries, fundamental vibrational frequencies, and other properties of excited singlet and triplet states for $CS_{2}$ have also been calculated and will be compared with available experimental data.
