The rotation-vibration Hamiltonian for a triatomic molecule is derived in terms of two bond-length displacements Δr12and Δr32and a bending coordinate ϱ defined as in the approach described by J. T. Hougen, P. R. Bunker, and J. W. C. Johns [J. Mol. Spectrosc.34, 136–172 (1970)]. The Hamiltonian is expanded as a power series in the variablesϱj= 1 − exp(−ajΔrj2), where theajare molecular constants obtained from the potential energy function. The eigenvalues of this Hamiltonian are obtainedvariationally, i.e., through direct matrix diagonalization without the use of perturbation theory. As vibrational basis functions we use numerically integrated bending functions obtained as described by P. Jensen [Comp. Phys. Rep.1, 1–55 (1983)] combined with Morse oscillator stretching functions [V. Špirko, P. Jensen, P. R. Bunker, and A. Čejchan,J. Mol. Spectrosc.112, 183–202 (1985)]. On the basis of a published ab initio potential energy surface for the methylene radical CH2[A. D. McLean, P. R. Bunker, R. Escribano, and P. Jensen,J. Chem. Phys.87, 2166–2169 (1987)] we have calculated the lowest vibrational energies for this molecule. The results indicate that converged energies can be obtained with a relatively small basis set. Since in the present work we useMorse oscillatorandrigid benderbasis functions to describe theinternal dynamicsof the triatomic molecule, we name the new approach by the acronym MORBID.
