Notes:
Ab initio calculations are used to determine accurate spectroscopic constants (re, ωe, De ) for the X 2Π and A 2Σ+ states of the alkali sulfides (LiS–RbS) and the X 1Σ+, a 3Π, and A 1Π states of the alkaline–earth sulfides (BeS–SrS). In contrast to the alkali oxides, all of the alkali sulfides have X 2Π ground states owing to the larger electrostatic interaction. For the X 1Σ+ states of the alkaline–earth sulfides, our recommended dissociation energies (D0 in eV) are BeS(3.27), MgS(2.32), CaS(3.29), and SrS(3.41), in overall good agreement with the (uncertain) experimental values. Our computed Te(a 3Π) and Te(A 1Π) values for BeS of 7269 and 8244 cm−1 are in excellent agreement with experiment. For the heavier alkaline–earth sulfides, our calculated Te(a 3Π) values (cm−1) are MgS(4218), CaS(6528), and SrS(6870), and our calculated Te(A 1Π) values are MgS(5068), CaS(6901), and SrS(7179). Core correlation increases the Te values for the a 3Π and A 1Π states of MgS, CaS, and SrS.
