The complete active
space (CASSCF) and the multiconfiguration second-order
perturbation theory (CASPT2) calculations with 6-311++G(3df,3pd) gauss
basis sets are performed for several electronic states of the methylthio
neutral radical and its cation and anion. Twenty-two electronic states
are optimized in the
C
s
point group. Through the vertical promotion calculations, the absorption
spectral is simulated for the neutral radical. Furthermore, through
the energy comparison between the neutral radical and relative ions,
the ionization energy and the electronic absorption energy are understood
adiabatically.
