The accurate ground-state potential energy function of beryllium monohydride, BeH, has been determined from large-scale ab initio calculations using the multi-reference averaged coupled-pair functional (MR-ACPF) method in conjunction with the correlation-consistent core-valence basis sets up to septuple-zeta quality. The effects of electron correlation beyond the MR-ACPF level of approximation were taken into account. The scalar relativistic and adiabatic (the diagonal correction) effects, as well as some of the nonadiabatic effects, were also discussed. The vibration-rotation energy levels of three isotopologues, BeH, BeD, and BeT, were predicted to sub-cm−1 accuracy.

See supplementary material at http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3671610 for the DBOC values predicted for the BeH, BeD, and BeT isotopologues at the RAS CI/aug-cc-pCVTZ level of theory.
49.
For example, the values of Tv (calculated relative to the extrapolated v = −1/2 energy level), Bv, and Dv × 103 for the v = 11 state of the BeH isotopologue are given in Table 10 of Ref. 1 to be 17424.3, 4.0486, and 5.55 cm−1, respectively, while in the supplementary data for that article, the corresponding values are quoted to be 17434.06, 4.26816, and 4.295 cm−1, respectively.
