Notes:
A two-component Kramers' restricted Hartree-Fock method (KRHF) has been developed for the polyatomic molecules with closed shell configurations. The present KRHF program utilizes the relativistic effective core potentials with spin-orbit operators at the Hartree-Fock (HF) level and produces molecular spinors obeying the double group symmetry. The KRHF program enables the variational calculation of spin-orbit interactions at the HF level. KRHF calculations have been performed for the HX, X2, XY(X, Y = I, Br), and CH3I molecules. It is demonstrated that the orbital energies from KRHF calculations are useful for the interpretation of spin-orbit splittings in photoelectron spectra. In all molecules studied, bond lengths are only slightly expanded, harmonic vibrational frequencies are reduced, and bond energies are significantly decreased by the spin-orbit interactions.
