- Description
- The ground states of HMHe⁺ (M = Li, Na, K) and HMHe²⁺ (M = Be, Mg, Ca) have been investigated using relativistically-corrected CCSD(T) and IC-MRCI. The HLiHe⁺, HBeHe²⁺, HNaHe⁺ and HMgHe²⁺ ions were found to be linear in the ground state. Conversely, HKHe⁺ and HCaHe²⁺ were quasi-linear, with ²A'²Σ⁺ barrier heights of ca. 2 and 5 cm⁻¹, respectively. Structural and energetic trends are consistent with H and He sharing covalent and electrostatic bonds with the metal ion, respectively. These trends are also seen to be strictly dependent on the polarisability of the central metal ion.
