本論文主要是利用Franck-Condon 因子對氯乙烯做電子－振動光譜的全始計算 ( ab initio calculation )。此計算方法為對氯乙烯中的氫原子使用 6-31G** 基底 ( basis set ) 以及碳原子和氯原子使用 6-31++G** 基底，求得氯乙烯在 CASSCF ( complete active space SCF ) 方法上的能量最佳化。接著更進一步求得氯乙烯在 MRCI ( multireference configuration interaction ) 方法上電子躍遷能量以及激發態與基態的能階差並且比較使用6-31++G** 基底和 VTZ 基底所得結果之差異。最後，利用所得之基態和激發態的振動頻率來計算其 Franck-Condon 因子，以求得氯乙烯之理論電子－振動光譜，並將此理論結果和實驗相比對，便可標定實驗的電子－振動光譜譜線。

The vibronic spectra of vinyl chloride have been studied using ab initio molecular orbital methods. Geometries of the singlet excited electronic states have been optimized at the CASSCF levels of theory with the 6-31G** basis set for H and 6-31++G** basis set for C and Cl ( chlorine ). Vertical and adiabatic excitation energies are calculated by the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method. Vibrational frequencies and normal coordinates for the ground and excited states are used for the calculations of vibrational overlap integrals and Franck-Condon factors, taking into account distortion, displacement, and normal mode mixing. Major features of the observed absorption spectrum of vinyl chloride have been interpreted on the basis of the computed Franck-Condon factors. The role of each electronic state in the spectra has been clarified; the n - sigma* transition corresponds to the distinct peaks in the 56700-59700 cm-1 energy region, the less intensive distinct bands in the interval of 59700-62500 cm-1 due to the n - pi* states. The theoretical vibronic spectrum is in qualitative agreement with the experimental one, except of some details. Possible reasons for the discrepancies between theory and experiment are also discussed.
