“…For the state of PH, our calculated T e value (7,326.99 cm −1 ) is much closer to the experimental value (7,660 cm −1 ) ( Huber and Herzberg, 1979 ) than the old one (7,140 cm −1 ) ( Gao and Gao, 2014 ). The R e , ω e , ω e χ e , D e and B e values of the state are computed to be 1.422 Å, 2,391.75 cm −1 , 41.48 cm −1 , 3.6511 eV and 8.5476 cm −1 , respectively, which agree very well with the corresponding theoretical results (1.422 Å, 2,390.2 cm −1 , 42.5 cm −1 , 3.65 eV and 8.5348 cm −1 ) ( Gao and Gao, 2014 ). The excitation energy of the present work for the state of PH is computed to be 14,223.05 cm −1 , which is much closer to the experimental result of 14,325.5 ± 0.1 cm −1 ( Droege and Engelking, 1984 ) than the previous calculation (14,160.5 cm −1 ) ( Gao and Gao, 2014 ).…”
