Abstract
The structure of the MCN+ and MNC+ isomers cations are studied at the CAS level using extended Gaussian basis sets: all systems in question can be said to be linear and stable by geometry optimization. The MRPT2 method enables us to evaluate near Moller-Plesset and Epstein-Nesbet energies to less than 0.01 a.u. and to predict binding energies decreasing from scandium but remaining positive even for the copper compounds in spite of the closed-shell ...
