Abstract

The low-lying (up to about 40,000/cm) doublet and quartet states of AlC have been studied at the CASSCF and MRCI levels of theory. The bonding in the X4Sigma(-) state is shown to involve three one-electron bonds. The first excited state, a 2Pi, lies about 8700/cm higher and like the X4Sigma(-) state is derived from ground state Al and C, but has a two-electron pi bond leading to a much shorter bond length.
