A new algorithm for computing anharmonic vibrational states for polyatomic molecules is proposed. The algorithm starts with the vibrational self-consistent field (VSCF) method and uses degenerate perturbation theory to correct for effects of correlation between different vibrational modes. The algorithm is developed in a version that computes the anharmonic vibrational spectroscopy directly from potential energy surface points calculated by using ab initio codes. The method is applied to several molecules where near degeneracies occur for excited vibrational states, including HOOH, HSSH, and HOOOH. The method yields results in very good accordance with experiments and generally provides improvements over nondegenerate perturbation corrections for VSCF. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
