Abstract

Multireference C1 potential energy surfaces for the $^{3}B_{1}$ and $^{1}A_{1}$ states of $CH_{2}$ are being computed using a very large basis set and a complete valence space reference set. These surfaces will allow the calculation of accurate minimum-energy geometries, vibrational energy levels, and the zero-point vibrational contributions to the singlet-triplet splitting. They should also facilitate improved accuracy in the determination of the singlet-triplet splitting from the experimental laser magnetic resonance data. $^{1}$
