Abstract

We have developed a Morse oscillator adapted rotation-vibration Hamiltonian for an equilateral triangular X3 or X2Y molecule for the purpose of calculating the rotation-vibration energies from the potential function in an efficient way. In this paper we report the use of this Hamiltonian to calculate the rotation-vibration energies of H3+,H2D+,HD2+, and D3+ from an internuclear potental function. We have optimized the fit by adjusting the potential function, and we have found it necessary to allow for the breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
