Abstract
Ab initio SCF and CI calculations have been performed for the ground and lowest excited states of the $C_{2}H$ radical. A medium-sized Gaussian basis set was used (double zeta and polarization functions and diffuse s-functions) and an iterative natural orbital technique adopted for the determination of weakly occupied valence shell orbita1s. $C_{2}H$ has a low-lying $^{2}\Pi$ state, about 0.5 eV $(T_{00})$ above the $^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ ground state, whereas all $\pi\pi^{*}$ excited states are much higher $(T_{00} > 6 \ eV)$. In addition to vertical and adiabatic excitation energies, equilibrium geometries and vibrationa1 frequencies have been determined for a number of excited states.
