Abstract
Ab initio calculations have been carried out on CO and N2 and the relevant core hole states with different basis sets to investigate differences in geometries and force constants. From these calculations vibrational band profiles of the core level ESCA spectra for these molecules have been interpreted, obviating the need to rely on data pertaining to the equivalent core species. The agreement with experimental profiles is excellent. The O1s level of CO which has not been subjected to detailed theoretical analysis previously, is predicted to show substantial vibrational structure in excellent agreement with recently acquired experimental data. The effect of temperature on the band profiles has also been considered. Theoretically derived core binding and relaxation energies of these systems have been investigated both as a function of basis set, and of internuclear distance. Density difference contours have been computed and give a straightforward pictorial representation of the substantial electron reorganizations accompanying core ionizations. Small basis sets with valence exponents appropriate to the equivalent core species when used in hole state calculations describe bond lengths, force constants, core binding energies and relaxation energies with an accuracy comparable to that appropriate to the corresponding extended basis set calculations.
