A new nine-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) and dipole moment surface (DMS) for silane have been generated using high-level ab initio theory. The PES, CBS-F12HL, reproduces all four fundamental term values for 28SiH4 with sub-wavenumber accuracy, resulting in an overall root-mean-square error of 0.63 cm-1. The PES is based on explicitly correlated coupled cluster calculations with extrapolation to the complete basis set limit, and incorporates a range of higher-level additive energy corrections to account for core-valence electron correlation, higher-order coupled cluster terms, and scalar relativistic effects. Systematic errors in computed intra-band rotational energy levels are reduced by empirically refining the equilibrium geometry. The resultant Si-H bond length is in excellent agreement with previous experimental and theoretical values. Vibrational transition moments, absolute line intensities of the ν3 band, and the infrared spectrum for 28SiH4 including states up to J = 20 and vibrational band origins up to 5000 cm-1 are calculated and compared with available experimental results. The DMS tends to marginally overestimate the strength of line intensities. Despite this, band shape and structure across the spectrum are well reproduced and show good agreement with experiment. We thus recommend the PES and DMS for future use. date: 2015-12-28 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4938563 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1104301 doi: 10.1063/1.4938563 lyricists_name: Owens, Alec lyricists_name: Yurchenko, Sergey lyricists_id: ATOWE68 lyricists_id: SYURC56 actors_name: Yurchenko, Sergey actors_id: SYURC56 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Chemical Physics volume: 143 number: 24 issn: 0021-9606 citation: Owens, A; Yurchenko, SN; Yachmenev, A; Thiel, W; (2015) A global potential energy surface and dipole moment surface for silane.
