A high-level ab initio calculation utilizing explicitly correlated multireference con- figuration interaction method （MRCI-F12） was performed to compute the potential energy curves （PECs） of the ground triplet X3Eg and first excited singlet alAg states of sulfur dimer with cc-pCVXZ-F12（X = T, Q） basis sets. The effects of Davidson modification, core-valence correlation correction, and scalar relativistic correction on the spectroscopic con- stants were examined. The vibration-rotation spectra of the two electronic states were provided. Our computational results show excellent agreement with existing available experimental values, and the errors of main spectroscopic constants are within 0.1% order of magnitude. The present computational scheme is cheap and accurate, which is expected for extensive investigations on the potential energy curves or surfaces of other molecular systems.展开更多
