Neural canonical transformation for the spectra of fluxional molecule CH + 5

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Protonated methane, CH 5 + , is a highly fluxional molecule with large spatial motions of the hydrogen atoms. The molecule’s anharmonic effects and the delocalized wavefunction of the hydrogen atoms significantly affect the excitation spectrum of the molecule. The neural canonical transformation (NCT) approach, which we previously developed to solve the vibrational spectra of molecules and solids, is a powerful method that effectively treats nuclear quantum effects and anharmonicities. Using NCT with wavefunctions in atomic coordinates rather than normal coordinates, we successfully calculate the ground and excited states of CH 5 + . We found that the wavefunctions for the ground state, as well as for low- and high-energy excited states, show preferences for the three stationary points on the potential energy surface. This work extends the applicability of the NCT approach for calculating excited states to fluxional molecules without fixed geometry.
