Abstract
The stationary point structures and relative energies between them as well as binding energies of (CO)2 have been investigated at the CCSD(T) level using the correlation-consistent basis sets aug-cc-pVXZ(X=T,Q,5). It is found that while the equilibrium structure corresponds to the C-bonded T-shaped configuration with intermolecular distance of 4.4 A, there exists another minimum, slightly higher in energy (~10 cm-1) than the global minimum, corresponding to the O-bonded T-shaped configuration with the intermolecular distance of 3.9 A. The CCSD(T) basis set limit binding energy of (CO)2 is estimated to be 132 cm-1.
