The potential energy curve of the C12 （X1∑g＋） is investigated by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction （MRCI） approach in combination with the largest correlation-consistent basis set, aug-cc-pV6Z, in the valence range. The theoretical spectroscopic parameters and the molecular constants of three isotopes, 35Cl2, 35Cl37Cl and 37Cl2, are studied. For the 35Cl2（X1∑g＋）, the values of Do, De, Re, We, we）we, ae and Be are obtained to be 2.3921 eV, 2.4264 eV, 0.19939 nm, 555.13 cm-1, 2.6772 cm-1, 0.001481 cm-1 and 0.24225 cm-1, respectively. For the 356137Cl（X1∑g＋）, the values of Do, De, Re, We, WeXe, ae and Be are calculated to be 2.3918 eV, 2.4257 eV, 0.19939 nm, 547.68 cm-1, 2.6234 cm-1, 0.00140 cm^1 and 0.23572 cm-1, respectively. And for the 37Cl2（X1∑g＋）, the values of Do, De, Re, We, WeXe, ae and Be are obtained to be 2.3923 eV, 2.4257 eV, 0.19939 nm, 540.06 cm-1, 2.5556 cm-1, 0.00139 cm-1 and 0.22919 cm-1, respectively. These spectroscopic results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. With the potential of Cl2 molecule determined at the MRCI/aug-cc-pV6Z level of theory, the total of 59 vibrational states is predicted for each isotope when the rotational quantum number J equals zero （J = 0）. The theoretical vibrational levels, classical turning points, inertial rotation and centrifugal distortion constants are determined when J = 0, which are in excellent accordance with the available experimental findings.
This paper employs the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method to investigate the potential energy curves （PECs） for the ground state （X^1 ∑^＋） and two low-lying excited states （A^1∏ and D^1 △ of phosphorus nitride （PN） radical with the correlation-consistent basis set, aug-cc-pV6Z, in the valence range. Relativistic effects are considered in these calculations. The spectroscopic constants of the X^1 ∑^＋ and A^1∏ states are calculated based on the PECs, and the results are in good accord with the available experimental data. The first 30 vibrational states for the X^1 ∑^＋ state and the first 40 vibrational states for the A^1∏ state are determined when J = 0. For each vibrational state, molecular constants G（v）, B（v） and D（v） are also attained.
The potential energy curves （PECs） of three low-lying electronic states （X1 ∑g^＋, w^3 △u, and W1 △u） of P2 molecule are investigated using the full valence complete active space self-consistent field （CASSCF） method followed by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction （MRCI） approach in conjunction with the correlation-consistent basis set in the valence range. The PECs of the electronic states involved are modified by the Davidson correction and extrapolated to the complete basis set （CBS） limit. With these PECs, the spectroscopic parameters of the three electronic states are determined and compared in detail with the experimental data. The comparison shows that excellent agreement exists between the present results and the available experimental data. The complete vibrational states are computed for the W3Au and WlAu electronic states when the rotational quantum number J equals zero and the vibrational level G（v）, the inertial rotation constant By, and the centrifugal distortion constant Dv of the first 30 vibrational states are reported, which accord well with the experimental data. The present results show that the two-point extrapolation scheme can obviously improve the quality of spectroscopic parameters and molecular constants.
