The Rydberg states of trans-1, 3-5-hexatriene from ab initio and configuration interaction calculations

Abstract

Self-consistent ab initio and configuration interaction (CI) calculations are presented for the Rydberg states of the trans-1,3,5-hexatriene molecule. Seven Rydberg series were identified. four optically allowed (ns, (nd_z)², nd_(xy)) and three optically forbidden (np_x, np_y, np_z). These present results plus previous calculations on the valence states are used to assign the transitions observed in the ultraviolet WV), electron-impact (EI) and two-photon spectra of this molecule.
