Potential-energy surfaces of water and its molecular ions up to H2O3+
Abstract
We compute the potential-energy surfaces for molecular ions up to H2O3+ with any combinations of outer-valence, inner-valence and core holes. To obtain the potential-energy surfaces, we consider several ab initio techniques based on the CASSCF method and benchmark them with respect to the literature. We thus identify the techniques which produce accurate potential-energy surfaces as a function of the two bond lengths and the angle between the two bond lengths. These potential-energy surfaces will be used in future studies of the interaction of water with free-electron laser pulses. Furthermore, the techniques employed in this work in the context of water can be used to obtain the potential-energy surfaces of other triatomic molecules.
