Show more >The equilibrium structure of nitrogen dioxide was determined using different methods: experimental, semiexperimental, mass-dependent, using an empirical correction to the effective (r <SUB>0</SUB>) structure, and ab initio optimizations. For this goal, recently determined rotational constants of vibrationally excited states have been used. The coupled cluster method, CCSD(T), fails to give an accurate structure. However, an accurate structure can be obtained by taking into account a small correction calculated at the CCSDTQ level of theory. Furthermore, the multireference configuration interaction method, MRCI + Q, gives a satisfactory result which can still be improved by interpolation. The semiexperimental and mass-dependent methods, as well as the corrected r <SUB>0</SUB> structure give accurate results and are furthermore much easier to use than the experimental method. It has to be noted that the different methods give compatible results. The mean of the results gives the following equilibrium structure: r(NO) = 1.1944(6) Å and ∠(ONO) = 133.89(11)°.Show less >
