The theoretical description of the (ππ*) excited states of ethylene
Abstract
It is shown that the excited singlet (ππ*) state (V) of planar ethylene in both the Hartree-Fock and π-electron configuration interaction descriptions is quite diffuse. The extent of the π*-orbital in the π-direction as measured by 〈z2〉 is 42 a2o in the V state as compared to 2.7 a2o in the corresponding triplet state (T). In addition, we find that the Hartree-Fock vertical excitation energy for the V state is 7.42 eV as compared to the experimental value of 7.6 eV.
