CALCULATION OF HIGHLY EXCITED VIBRATIONAL ENERGY LEVELS OF CH₃CN MOLECULE BY NON-LINEAR QUANTUM THEORY

A three-parameter nonlinear dynamical model, i.e., the quantized discrete self-trapping equation, was used to calculate the highly excited CH stretching vibrational energy levels of liquid phase CH₃CN molecule in the electronic ground state up to n=7. The calculated results show that the experimental energy levels can be well described by the model.
