“…Even on the theoretical side, the number of studies on CN, CP, and CAs follows a decreasing trend. Whereas for CN, several high level investigations have been reported on the ground state and on the low-lying electronic states, − significantly less was found on CP, ,− and just a single investigation on CAs, which appeared in a study of a series of diatomic systems containing atoms of groups 14, 15, and 16, was found in the literature; in this study, values are reported on various spectroscopic constants for the ground state ( 2 Σ + ) and the excited 2 Π state, besides the dipole moment of the ground state.…”
