The vibrational g-factor of dihydrogen from theoretical calculation and analysis of vibration-rotational spectra.

We present the first results from quantum-chemical calculation of a vibrational g-factor; the calculations were performed at the level of full configuration interaction using a basis set of aug-cc-pVQZ quality. The theoretical results are consistent with experimental results from analysis of pure rotational and vibration-rotational spectra of dihydrogen in six isotopic variants, in which calculated results for either the rotational g-factor or adiabatic corrections are employed to constrain fits of coefficients of radial functions from wave numbers of transitions. When fits are constrained with data for the rotational g-factor, we reproduce also the radial dependence of adiabatic corrections relative to their value at equilibrium internuclear separation.
