43. 1 symmetry and therefore has no effect on the harmonic vibrational frequencies of the C̃ state as determined at UHF-based correlated levels of theory. The relationship between the eigenvalues of the orbital Hessian and anomolous harmonic vibrational frequencies, as well as the effect of instabilities on correlated wavefunctions have been discussed in detail by Burton, et al. (Ref. 10) and by Allen, et al. (Ref. 40).
