Motivation
Weak van der waals forces can strongly influence dynamics Cl + HD; Roaming Hydrogen atom mechanism
HX-CN has been suggested as being important in controlling theproduct state distributions observed in X+HCN scattering
Multiple, asymptotically degenerate Potential energy surfaces can resultin breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation
Reaction dynamics at the quantum level 4 atom systems
Photoinduced reaction of entrance channel complexes impact parameter averaging
Aid in understanding future experimental results X, A, and B states of CN are convenient handles

Ab initio Calculations
Start with rigid monomers constrained to a common plane = Cs
[0.1, 180.1, 20.0] [0.1, 360.1, 20.0]
R [10.0, 6.0, 5.0, 4.5, 4.0, 3.75, 3.5, 3.25, 3.0, 2.75, 2.5 Å]
rHF = 0.9168 ÅrCN = 1.1718 Å

Basis set = Aug-cc-pVDZ+{332}
Methodology
1) RHF for 1A’ state
2) 4SA-CASSCF(7,8)
3) MRCI(7,7)
4) Counter-Poise Correction using
Davidson Energies
5) Correct for size consistency (20 Å)

Summary and Conclusions• HF+CN PES is rich• Bound-Bound (Bound-Free) transitions
expected for A-X (B-X) excitation of FH--NC• Onset of continuum would accurately
probe ground state binding energy• ~7300 cm-1 barrier to reaction; should be
ammenable to jet cooling• Zewail type experiments?
