Anab initiocalculation of the rotational-vibrational energies in the electronic ground state of NH2

We have calculated ab initio the three-dimensional potential-energy surface of the NH2 molecule at 145 nuclear geometries spanning energy ranges of about 18 000 cm-1 for the NH stretch and 12 000 cm-1 for the bend. The ab initio configuration-interaction calculations were done using the multireference MRD-CI method. The calculated equilibrium configuration has NH bond length r e = 1·0207 Å and bond angle α = 103·1°. The rotational-vibrational energies for 14NH2, 14NHD and 14ND2 were calculated variationally using the Morse-oscillator rigid-bender internal-dynamics Hamiltonian. For 14NH2 we calculate that υ1 = 3267 (3219) cm-1, υ2 = 1462 (1497) cm-1 and υ3 = 3283 (3301) cm-1, where experimental values are given in parentheses.
