Ab initio molecular orbital methods are employed to study the low-lying states of C3H+, SiC2H+, Si2CH+, and Si3H+. Special attention is paid to a comparative study between C3H+ and Si3H+. In both cases a 3B2 state is found to lie the lowest at the HF level, although inclusion of correlation effects favor a linear structure (1Σ+ state) for C3H+, which lies 25 kcal/mol below the 3B2 state at the MP4 level, and a bent structure (1A′ state) for Si3H+, which lies just 2 kcal/mol below the 3B2 state. The proton affinities of C3, SiC2, Si2C, and Si3 are estimated at different levels of theory. Both protonation at carbon and silicon atoms are considered for SiC2 and Si2C. It is found that C3 comparatively has a low proton affinity. On the other hand, Si3 has a relatively high proton affinity compared with the protonation at silicon atom for both SiC2 and Si2C. These results are discussed on the basis of electronic structure arguments.
