If V and t) differ by a purely time-dependent function, the resulting wave functions P(t) and >P (t) differ by a purely time-dependent phase factor and, consequently, the resulting densities p and p are identical. This trivial case is excluded by the condition (8), in analogy to the ground-state formalism where the potentials are required to differ by more than a constant. 

In the /"region, the molar extinction coefficients range from 2 to 12. In the intermediate coupling treatments, which have had considerable success in the quantitative analysis of the spectra (see, e.g., 32), J remains a good quantum number, and the absorption bands correspond to excitations from the ground state (formally a I9/2 state) to other J values. But each J state suffers a small splitting into a number of...

Before leaving our tutorial on ground-state formalism, we mention the optimized effective potential (OEP) method in which the XC functional is written as a functional of the KS orbitals (which in turn are functionals of... 

We begin our review of the MMCC theory with the ground-state formalism. The extension of the MMCC formalism to the EOMCC case is discussed in the next subsection. 

Molecular Interaction. The examples of gas lasers described above involve the formation of chemical compounds in their excited states, produced by reaction between positive and negative ions. However, molecules can also interact in a formally nonbonding sense to give complexes of very short lifetimes, as when atoms or molecules collide with each other. If these sticky collisions take place with one of the molecules in an electronically excited state and the other in its ground state, then an excited-state complex (an exciplex) is formed, in which energy can be transferred from the excited-state molecule to the ground-state molecule. The process is illustrated in Figure 18.12. 

The vibrational enthalpy consists of two parts, the first is a sum of hv/2 contributions, this is the zero-point energies. The second part depends on temperature, and is a contribution from molecules which are not in the vibrational ground state. This contribution goes toward zero as the temperature goes to zero when all molecules are in the ground state. Note also that the sum over vibrational frequencies runs over 3Ai — 6 for the reactant(s), but only 3A1 — 7 for the TS. At the TS, one of the normal vibrations has been transformed into the reaction coordinate, which formally has an imaginary frequency. 

Power Series Expansions and Formal Solutions (a) Helium Atom. If the method of superposition of configurations is based on the use of expansions in orthogonal sets, the method of correlated wave functions has so far been founded on power series expansions. The classical example is, of course, Hyl-leraas expansion (Eq. III.4) for the ground state of the He atom, which is a power series in the three variables...

The excited-state molecules may either undergo radiationless decay to the ground state leading to the formal generation of heat under conditions of high radiation flux or radiative decay (i.e., phosphorescence), thereby emitting light. 

UV photolysis (Chapman et al., 1976 Chedekel et al., 1976) and vacuum pyrolysis (Mal tsev et al., 1980) of trimethylsilyldiazomethane [122]. The silene formation occurred as a result of fast isomerization of the primary reaction product, excited singlet trimethylsilylcarbene [123] (the ground state of this carbene is triplet). When the gas-phase reaction mixture was diluted with inert gas (helium) singlet-triplet conversion took place due to intermolecular collisions and loss of excitation. As a result the final products [124] of formal dimerization of the triplet carbene [123] were obtained.
