Ground and excited states of the diatoms CN and AlO

Abstract
Multiconfiguration self‐consistent field (MCSCF) wavefunctions are obtained for the ground and some low‐lying valence excited states of the same symmetry for the diatomic systems CN and AlO. The spectroscopic constants of these states as well as their dipole moments as a function of the internuclear separation are also calculated and compared with previous theoretical and experimental results.
