For both UCCSD(T) and IC-MRCI wave functions, basis set superposition errors were included, with size-extensivity corrections included for IC-MRCI calculations. UCCSD(T) and IC-MRCI results are in agreement with predicted trends in geometry, vibration frequencies and potential well-depths. A 45-point potential energy surface was calculated using IC-MRCI from which a (4,4) Padé analytical function was constructed yielding an absolute error to the fit of the surface (x2)¹/² of 3.88 cm⁻¹. 2010-04-27T05:24:04.989Z ]]>
