T1  - Chiral self-sorting of atropo-enantiomeric perylene bisimide dyes
T1  - Chirale Self-sortierung von Atropo-enantiomerische Perilene Bisimide Farbstofe
N2  - This thesis included the synthesis of conformationally stable chiral perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes, the study of their optical properties in solution and their chiral self-sorting behaviour in nonpolar solvents in which dimerization via pi-pi-stacking takes place. Furthermore, the influence of PBI core chirality on the properties of these dyes in the condensed state has been also studied. We have demonstrated and quantified the prevalence of chiral self-recognition over self-discrimination in pi-stacking dimerization of PBIs. It has been shown that this self-recognition event is compromised by the increasing flexibility of the structures related to the size of the OEG bridging units. Moreover, the inherent chirality of these PBIs has been proven to strongly influence their condensed state properties, for which large differences between the pure enantiomers and the racemates were revealed, as well as between the different bridged macrocyclic PBIs.
N2  - Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Synthese von konformationsstabilen chiralen Perylenbisimidfarbstoffen (PBI), die Bestimmung ihrer optischen Eigenschaften in Lösung und ihrer chiralen Selbstsortierung in unpolaren Lösungsmitteln, in denen Dimerisierung durch pi-pi-Stapelung stattfindet. Des Weiteren wurde noch der Einfluss der PBI Kernchiralität auf die flüssigkristallinen Eigenschaften untersucht. Zusammenfassend konnte im Rahmen dieser Arbeit die Bevorzugung der chiralen Selbst-Erkennung gegenüber der Selbst-Diskriminierung in pi-gestapelten dimerisierten PBIs quantifiziert und bewiesen werden. Eine erhöhte Flexibilität der Moleküle durch Verlängerung der OEG Brückeneinheiten verringert jedoch die Qualität dieses Selbsterkennungsvorgangs. Des Weiteren hat die Chiralität dieser PBIs einem sehr starken Einfluss auf die Eigenschaften der kondensierten Materie, in welcher große Unterschiede für reine Enantiomere und das Racemat sowie zwischen PBIs mit unterschiedlichen Brückeneinheiten gefunden wurden.

T1  - Bio-inspired Zinc Chlorin Dye Assemblies for Supramolecular Electronics
T1  - Bio-adaptierte Zink-Chlorin Farbstoffverbände für supramolekulare Elektronik
N2  - Chlorophylls are the most important pigments owing to their involvement in photosynthesis. They perform multiple functions that arise due to their optical and redox as well as packing properties. Semisynthetic zinc chlorins investigated in this thesis are the counterparts for the natural protein-free bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) c assemblies in light-harvesting (LH) systems in bacterial chlorosomes. The major advantage of the zinc chlorin model compounds over the native BChls lies in their facile semisynthetic accessibility from chlorophyll a (Chl a), their higher chemical stability and the possibility to influence their packing by suitable chemical modifications of peripheral side chains. Whilst the favorable excitonic properties and the suitability of ZnChl and natural BChl c dye aggregates for long distance exciton transport are well documented, charge transport properties of aggregates of semisynthetic ZnChls are hitherto unexplored. The present study involves structural elucidations of aggregates of a variety of semisynthetic zinc chlorin derivatives in solution, in solid state and on surfaces by combination of spectroscopic, crystallographic and microscopic techniques, followed by investigation of charge transport properties and conductivities of these aggregates. Chart 1 shows the different ZnChls synthesized in this work that are functionalized with hydroxy or methoxy substituents at 31 position and contain different substituents at the 172-position benzyl ester functional group. The self-assembly of these dyes is strongly dependent upon their chemical structures. While ZnChls 1a, 2a, 3, which are functionalized with 31-hydroxy group bearing dodecyl and oligoethylene glycol side chains form well-soluble rod aggregates, the corresponding 31-methoxy functionalized counterparts 1b, 2b form stacks in solution and on surfaces. These supramolecular polymers have been studied in detail in Chapter 3 by UV/Vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). These studies provided useful insights into the aggregation process of these two types of aggregates. Whereas 31-hydroxy functionalized ZnChl 1a self-assemble into rod aggregates via an isodesmic mechanism, corresponding stack aggregates of ZnChl 1b are formed by a cooperative nucleation-elongation pathway. Detailed electron microscopic studies such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) provided unequivocal evidence for hollow tubular nanostructures of water-soluble 31-hydroxy zinc chlorin 3 aggregates for the first time. The measured tube diameter of ~ 5-6 nm of these aggregates is in excellent agreement with electron microscopy data of BChl c rod aggregates in chlorosomes (Chloroflexus aurantiacus, diameter ~ 5-6 nm) and thus complied with the tubular model postulated by Holzwarth and Schaffner... In concord with their highly organized structures, micrometer-scale one dimensionality, robust nature and efficient charge transport capabilities, these self-assembled ZnChl nanotubular, stack and liquid crystalline assemblies are highly promising for supramolecular electronic applications. Research efforts in utilizing these assemblies for (opto)electronic device fabrication, for instance, in organic field effect transistors, should thus be rewarding in the future...
N2  - Die Chlorophylle stellen in der Natur die wichtigsten Pigmente dar, weil sie verantwortlich für die Photosynthese sind und hierbei vielfältige Funktionen wahrnehmen, die sich aus ihrer Selbstassemblierung sowie den vorteilhaften optischen und Redox-Eigenschaften ergeben. Die in dieser Arbeit untersuchten semisynthetischen Zinkchlorine stellen Modellverbindungen des natürlichen Bacteriochlorophylls c (BChl c) der Lichtsammelsysteme (light-harvesting: LH) in Chlorosomen von Bakterien, jedoch ohne Proteingerüst, dar. Die entscheidenden Vorteile dieser Zinkchlorine (ZnChl) gegenüber den natürlichen BChls bestehen im einfachen semisynthetischen Zugang ausgehend von Chlorophyll a (Chl a), ihrer gesteigerten chemischen Stabilität sowie der Möglichkeit ihre Selbstassemblierung durch gezielte chemische Modifizierung der Seitenketten in der Peripherie zu steuern. Während bereits mehrfach über die vielversprechenden Redox- und excitonischen Eigenschaften von Aggregaten von ZnChl und natürlichem BChl c und den damit verbundene Voraussetzungen für Excitontransport über große Distanzen berichtet wurde, sind die Ladungstransporteigenschaften von Aggregaten der biomimetischen ZnChl bis heute unerforscht. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Aufklärung der Struktur von Aggregaten einer Vielzahl von semisynthetischen Zinkchlorophyllderivaten im Feststoff, in Lösung und auf Oberflächen durch die Kombination verschiedenster spektroskopischer, kristallographischer und mikroskopischer Techniken an die sich Untersuchungen zum Ladungstransport in den Aggregaten anschließen. Schema 1 zeigt die verschiedenen, in dieser Arbeit synthetisierten ZnChls, die entweder mit einer Hydroxy- oder Methoxygruppe in der 31-Position funktionalisiert sind sowie Substituenten unterschiedlicher Art, Länge und Verzweigung an der Benzylestergruppe in 172-Position tragen.Die Packung dieser Farbstoffe hängt entscheidend von ihrer chemischen Struktur ab. Während die ZnChls 1a, 2a, 3 mit 31-Hydroxygruppe und Alkylseitenketten (Dodecyl bzw. Oligoethylenglykol) gut lösliche stabförmige Aggregate bilden, lagern sich die analogen Verbindungen mit 31-Methoxygruppe (1b, 2b) zu Stapeln in Lösung und auf Oberflächen zusammen. Diese supramolekularen Polymere wurden im Detail in Kapitel 3 mit Hilfe von UV/Vis- und CD-Spektroskopie (circular dichroism: CD) sowie dynamische Lichtstreuung (dynamic light scattering: DLS) untersucht. Darüber hinaus lieferten temperaturabhängige UV/Vis- in Kombination mit DLS-Messungen wertvolle Informationen über die Aggregationsprozess dieser beiden Sorten von Aggregaten. Während sich die ZnChl 1a mit 31 Hydroxygruppe entsprechend dem isodesmischen Modell zu röhrenförmigen Aggregaten zusammenlagern, bilden sich die stapelförmigen Aggregate von 1b nach einem kooperativen Keimbildungs-Wachstums-Mechanismus (nucleation-elongation mechanism). Detaillierte elektronenmikroskopische Studien lieferten erstmals überzeugende Beweise für röhrenförmige Nanostrukturen der Aggregate des wasserlöslichen 31-Hydroxy Zinkchlorin 3. Die gemessenen Durchmesser der Röhren von ~ 5-6 nm dieser Aggregate liegen in hervorragender Übereinstimmung mit den Elektronenmikroskopie-Daten von BChl c Stabaggregaten in Chlorosomen (Chloroflexus aurantiacus, Durchmesser ~ 5-6 nm) und entsprechen damit dem von Holzwarth und Schaffner postulierten röhrenförmigen Modell... Im Einklang mit ihren hoch geordneten, robusten Strukturen, die sich eindimensional in einer Größenordnung von Mikrometeren erstrecken, sowie ihrer Fähigkeit zum effizienten Ladungs-trägertransport stellen diese selbstassemblierten Nanoröhren von ZnChls vielversprechende Ausgangsmaterialien für die Fertigung supramolekularer elektronischer Bauteile dar. Wissenschaftliche Bemühungen einige dieser Moleküle und ihre entsprechenden supramolekularen Polymere für die Fertigung von (opto-)elektronischen Bauteilen wie organischen Feldeffekttransistoren zu benutzten, stellen lohnende Aufgaben für die Zukunft dar...

T1  - Synthesis and Characterization of an Oligo(Phenylene Ethynylene)-Based Perylene Bisimide Foldamer
T1  - Synthese und Charakterisierung eines Oligo(phenylenethinylen)-basierten Perylenbisimid Foldamers
N2  - The present work is part of the currently only rudimentary understanding of the structure-property relationships in the self-assembly of pi-conjugated organic molecules. Such structures may reveal favorable photophysical and semiconducting properties due to the weak non-covalent pi-pi interactions between the monomer units. The specific mutual orientation of the dyes is known to evoke individual functional properties for the condensed matter, however, the related electronic processes are still not well-understood and further enhancements of functional properties are seldom triggered by rational design. The pi-pi self-assembly structures of perylene bisimide (PBI) dyes are promising, versatile materials for organic electronic devices and have been elected for this thesis as an archetype aggregate system to investigate the dye-dye interactions in more detail. In cooperation with experts in the field of spectroscopy and theory the development of reliable routines towards a better understanding of the origins of the functional properties may be feasible, and, on a longer time-line, such knowledge may enable optimization of functional organic materials. Having designed such structures entailed the challenge of developing feasible synthesis strategies, and to actually generate the targeted molecules by synthesis. Several synthesis approaches were conducted until finally a perylene bisimide foldamer was obtained based on a Sonogashira co-polymerization reaction. After purification and enrichment of the larger-sized species by means of semi-preparative gel permeation chromatography (GPC) the average size of an octamer (8500 Da) species was determined by analytical GPC. The low polydispersity index (PD) of 1.1 is indicative of a sharp size distribution of the oligomers. This average size was confirmed by performing diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY). Furthermore, MALDI-TOF mass analysis substantiated the structural integrity of the co-polymerization product. Solvent-dependent UV/vis spectroscopic investigations demonstrated that intramolecular PBI  aggregates are reversibly formed, indicating that this oligomer is able to fold and unfold in the intended manner upon changing external conditions. In the unfolded states, the PBI moieties are closely arranged due to the short OPE bridges (< 2.4 nm), which is expressed by an exciton coupling interaction of the dyes and therefore the characteristic monomer absorption pattern of the PBI chromophore cannot be obtained in the unfolded states. More interestingly, the folded state revealed a pronounced aggregate spectrum of the PBIs, however, striking differences in the shape of the absorption spectrum compared to our previously investigated PBI self-assembly were obtained.
N2  - Die vorliegende Arbeit ist Bestandteil von derzeit erst ansatzweise verstandenen Struktur-Eigenschaftsbeziehungen in Selbstassoziaten pi-konjugierter organischer Moleküle. Solche Strukturen können nützliche photophysikalische und Halbleitereigenschaften aufweisen, die begründet sind in den schwachen, nicht-kovalenten pi-pi-Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Monomereinheiten. Die spezifische gegenseitige Orientierung zwischen den Farbstoffen ruft dabei unterschiedliche funktionelle Eigenschaften im Festkörper hervor, die zugrundeliegenden elektronischen Prozesse sind jedoch noch nicht genügend verstanden, so dass eine gezielte Steuerung oder Verbesserung der funktionellen Eigenschaften schwierig ist. Die pi-pi- Selbstassoziate von Perylenebisimiden (PBI) sind vielversprechende, vielseitige Materialien für die organische Elektronik, und wurden daher für diese Arbeit als Forschungsobjekt ausgewählt um die Wechselwirkung zwischen den Farbstoffen genauer zu untersuchen. In Kooperation mit Experten aus den Forschungsgebieten der Spektroskopie und Theorie sollen verlässliche Routinen entwickelt werden, die ein besseres Verständnis der elektronischen Vorgänge in organischen Funktionsmaterialen ermöglichen und auf längere Sicht eine gezielte Optimierung derselben erlauben. Nachdem entsprechende Modelsysteme konzipiert und berechnet wurden, wurden geeignete Synthesestrategien entwickelt und umgesetzt, was schließlich zu der erfolgreichen Synthese eines Perylenbisimid Foldamers führte, die auf einer abschließenden Sonogashira Co-Polymerisation basierte. Nachdem dieses mittels semip-präparativer Gelpermeationschromatographie (GPC) sowohl gereinigt, als auch dessen größeren Oligomerspezies angereichert wurden, wurde mittels analytischer GPC im Mittel eine molekulare Masse von 8400 Da erhalten, was einem Oktamer entspricht. Dabei wurde ein kleiner Polydispersionsindex (PD) von 1.1 erhalten, was für eine relativ enge Größenverteilung der Oligomerspezies spricht. Diese Größendimension wurde mittels Messung der Selbstdiffusion durch Feldgradienten-NMR-Spektroskopie (diffusion ordered spectroscopy, DOSY) bestätigt. Weiterhin konnte mittels MALDI-TOF- Massenanalyse die strukturelle Integrität des Co-Polymerisationsproduktes nachgewiesen werden. UV/Vis-spektroskopische Untersuchungen zeigten die reversible Ausbildung intramolekularer PBI pi-pi-Aggregate bei Veränderung der Lösungsmittel, was die gewünschten Faltungseigenschaften des Foldamers bei veränderten äußeren Bedingungen demonstriert. In nicht gefalteten Zuständen sind die PBI Farbstoffe durch die kurzen OPE-Brücken zu räumlicher Nähe (< 2.4 nm) gezwungen, was sich in einer exzitonischen Kopplung der Farbstoffe äußert, weshalb für nicht-gefaltete Zustände kein reines, charakteristisches PBI Monomerabsorptionsspektrum beobachtet werden konnte. Im interessanteren gefalteten Zustand weisen die PBIs ein ausgeprägtes Aggregatabsorptionsspektrum auf, allerdings mit klaren Unterschieden in der Bandenform verglichen mit den von uns früher untersuchten intermolekularen PBI-Selbstassoziaten.

T1  - Difficulties in the Calculation of Electron Spin Resonance Parameters using Density Functional Methods
N2  - Density functional theory is applied to the calculation ofthe isotropic byperfine coupJing constants in some small molecules. Various functionals are tested. The agreement of the calculated values to experimental data and values obtained from sophisticated ab initio methods depends on the functionals used and the system under consideration. With respect to spin density calculations the functional of Lee, Yang and Parr with Becke's excbange functional (BLYP) is found to give good results for tbe heavier center of the CH and the NH molecule, while the spin densities of other molecules such as OH, H\(_2\)CN, H\(_2\)CO\(^+\), NO and O\(_2\) deviate considerably from experimental and/or other theoretical results (30%-60%). In cases where the singly occupied orbital can contribute to the isotropic hyperfine coupling constants, accurate results are obtained. The reason fortbis is analyzed.

T1  - A Multireference Configuration Interaction Study of the Hyperfine Structure of the Molecules CCO, CNN and NCN in their triplet ground states
N2  - The hyperfine structures of the isoelectronic molecules CCO. CNN, and NCN in their triplet ground states (X\(^3 \sum ^-\)) are investigated by means of ab initio methods. The infrared frequencies and geometries are detennined and compared with experiment. Configuration selected multireference configuration interaction calculations in combination with perturbation theory to correct the wave function (MRD-CI/B\(_K\)) employing extended atomic orbital (AO) basis sets yielded very accurate hyperfine properties. The theoretical values for CCO are in excellent agreement with the experimental values determined by Smith and Weltner [J. Chem. Phys. 62,4592 (1975)]. For CNN, the first assignment of Smith and Weltner for the two nitrogen atoms has to be changed. A qualitative discussion of the electronic structure discloses no simple relation between the structure of the singly occupied orbitals and the measured hyperfine coupling constants. Vibrational effects were found to be of little importance.

T1  - A comparative ab initio study of the Si\(_2\)C\(_4\), Si\(_3\)C\(_3\), Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters
N2  - Various structural possibilities for the Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) and Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters are investigated by employing a basis set of triple-zeta plus polarization quality; electron correlation is generally accounted for by second-order M0ller-Plesset and, in certain instances, by higher-order perturbation (CASPT2) approaches. The building-up principle recently suggested from an analysis of Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) clusters is found to be fully operative for Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) and Si\(_4\)C\(_2\) clusters. A comparison of the structure and stability of various geometrical arrangements in the series C\(_6\) , Si\(_2\)C\(_4\) , Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) , Si\(_4\)C\(_2\), and Si\(_6\) shows that linear and planar structures become rapidly less stable if carbons are replaced by silicons and that the three-dimensional bipyramidal forms become less favorable as soon as silicons are exchanged by carbons in the parent Si\(_6\) structure. The effects can be rationalized in qualitative terms based on differences in silicon and carbon bonding.

T1  - Theoretical Study of the Reaction O(\(^3\)P) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) and comparison with the \(^3\)CH\(_3\) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) Reaction
N2  - The minimum energy path for the reaction O(\(^3\)P\(_g\)) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\)(\(^1\)A\(_g\)) has been calculated by optimizing all relevant geometrical parameters along the approach of oxygen to ethene. A barrier of 4.7 kcal/mol in the \(^3\)A"( ... 9a'\(^2\)- 10a'3a") potential energy surface and an energy difference of 14.4 kcal/mol between the product and the fragments is found at the multireference-configuration interaction level. The corresponding values at the lower-level treatment CASSCF are 9 kcal/mol for the barrier and 9 kcal/mol for the depth of the potential; this shows the importance of inclusion of electron correlation. The barrier for CH\(_2\) rotation for the lowestenergy structure (asymmetric OC\(_2\)H\(_4\)) is around 5 kcal/mol. The energy gap to the first excited state \(^3\)A'( ... 9a'l0a'3a'12) is found tobe 3.6 kcal/mol in MRD-CI calculations at the ground-state minimum. Comparison with \(^3\)CH\(_2\) + C\(_2\)H\(_4\) shows that in this system the lowest-energy surface is \(^3\)A', i.e., the state which is the excited state in 0 + C\(_2\)H\(_4\). This difference in energy ordering of \(^3\)A' and \(^3\)A" states results from the fact that the p\(_x\), p\(_y\), p\(_z\) degeneracy of oxygen orbitals is lifted in \(^3\)CH\(_2\)leading to b\(_1\), b\(_2\). and a\(_1\) MOs whereby the lowest b\(_2\) (a") remains doubly occupied; as a consequence, the reaction pattem between the oxygen and \(^3\)CH\(_2\) approach is different, which is also quite apparent in the calculated charge transfer.

T1  - Ab initio investigation of the stability of Si\(_3\)C<\(_3\) clusters and their structural and bonding features
N2  - Various structural possibilities for Si\(_3\)C\(_3\) clusters are investigated by ab initio calculations employing basis sets of double- and triple-zeta quality augmented by d polarization functions. Correlation effects are included by a second-order Moeller Piesset perturbation treatment. For the two lowest-lying structures higher-order correlation corrections and multi-reference effects are also included. Bonding features are investigated by two different types of population analyses to obtain insight into the nature of chemical bonding. A total of 17 stationary points were investigated, 14 of which correspond to local minima and three being transition states. The energetically lowest-lying structures are: A "pyramidlike" structure with various multicenter bonds, followed by a es symmetric isomer closely related to the ground state Si6 structure. Planar structures, favoured in small carbon clusters, lie higher in energy and are transition states. The lowest-lying triplet system is found to be the linear nonsymmetric Si - C-C-C-Si -Si structure, which is calculated to lie about 38 kcalfmole above the singlet ground state. A building-up principle based on bonding criteria is suggested for the occurence of the various structural possibilities.

N2  - The energy difference between the three lowest-lying isomers of C\(_6\) the linear \(^3 \sum ^-\) state and the two ring forms,the benzene structure (\(^1\)A\(_{18}\)) possessing D\(_{6h}\) symmetry and a distorted cyclic form ( \(^1\)A'\(_1\), D\(_{3h}\) symmetry) have been calculated using various ab initio methods. Variational methods such as multireference configuration interaction (MR-CI) and complete active space second order perturbatiOn treatment (CASPT2) have been applied, as weil as perturbational treatments and coupled cluster calculations (CCD). The correlation of all valence shell electrons is found to be important for a balanced description of the isomers of C\(_6\) . Methods which do not account for higher-order effects appropriately proved to be unsuitable for calculating the energy difference correctly. The results from multireference configuration interaction methods show that the isomers are close in energy with the cyclic forms somewhat lower than the linear form. The ring form possessing D\(_{3h}\) symmetry (\(^1\)A'\(_1\)} is found tobe the lowest-lying structure.

N2  - The hyperfine structure of the two isoelectronic molecules H\(_2\)CN and H\(_2\)CO\(^+\) in their electronic ground state (X\(^2\)B\(_2\)) is studied. The influence of the atomic orbital (AO), basis sets, of the correlation treatment, and of the. equilibrium geometry on the obtained hyperfine propertles 1s - investigated. It is found that the multireference double excitation-configuration interaction (MRD-CI)/ BK treatment in which an MRD-CI wave function is corrected by a modified B\(_K\) method yields equivalent results to quadratic CI [QCISD(T)], coupled cluster single doubles [CCSD(T)), or Brueckner doubled [BD(T)]. Uncertainties in the equilibrium geometries are found to be the major source for discrepancies between theoretically and experimentally determined isotropic hyperfine coupling constants (hfccs). For the heavier centers, the calculated values of the isotropic hfccs agrees nearly perfectly with experimental values (\(\approx\) 1%-2%). The calculated values for the hydrogens are too low, but using the equilibrium structure suggested by Yamamoto and Sato [J. Chem. Phys. 96, 4157 ( 1992)], the best estimate deviates by less than 3%.

T1  - Detailed study of the configuration selected multi-reference configuration interaction method combined with perturbation theory to correct the wave function
N2  - A reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. In previous studies, the configuration selected multireference configuration interaction method in combination with perturbation theory to correct the wave function (MRCI/ B\(_K\)) yielded accurate isotropic hyperfine coupling constants very economically. The present study gives a detailed analysis of the MRCI/ B\(_K\) method based on the X\(^2 \pi\) state of CH as a test case. Furthermore, a comparison to various other methods such as Maller-Ptesset perturbation theory and the coupled cluster approach is made. The success of the MRCI/ B\(_K\) method in predicting isotropic hyperfine coupling constants is explained in terms of the inßuence of higher than double excitations.

T1  - Study of influences of various excitation classes on ab initio calculated isotropic hyperfine coupling constants
N2  - Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strang dependence on the method employed for its ca1culation has been found. Within a CI ansatz A\(_{iso}\) is considerably affected by the excitation classes taken into account within the CI calculation. In the present work the influence of various excitation classes on A\(_{iso}\) is examined. Calculations including all single, double, triple and a large part of the quadruple excitations are performed and the individual effects of the excitation classes are studied. It is found that the surprisingly good agreement found for S-CI treatments is due to large error cancellations. The importance of higher than double excitations arises from their indirect influence on the single excitations.

N2  - We have investigated theoretically the importance of the O(\(^3\)P)+CH(a\(^4\sum^-\)) and the O(\(^3\)P)+CH(X\(^2\Pi\)) channels in the collinear chemi-ionization reaction O+CH->HCO\(^+\) +e\(^-\). We have found that both channels may lead to chemi-ionization via favorable Franck-Condon overlaps with the states ofthe ionic species.
