Abstract

We present here consistent ab initio calculations (generalized valence bond plus configuration interaction) on the 11 molecules MH+with M = Ca through Zn. The ground-state symmetry, bond distance, vibration frequency, and bond energy are reported. The character of the wave function is used to analyze the bond energy and to rationalize the ground-state symmetry and spectroscopic properties. Excellent agreement (average error = 3.5 kcal) is found with recent experimental bond energies.
