Abstract
Several variants of diatomics‐in‐molecules (DIM) theory are used to calculate the potential‐energy hypersurfaces (PEH) for H3 and H4. The minimum basis set calculations yield qualitatively incorrect PEHs for these systems. Extension of the basis set to include the excited 2S* state or ionic states of hydrogen can result in a good ’’optimized’’ DIM PEH for H3, but the H4 energies remain poor. Extension of the theory to include triatomic contributions explicitly does not correct the H4 energies in the minimum basis set application.Keywords
