30. 1 dimer cation ground state. Indeed, our ab initio calculations show that the configurations involved in the UV-excited NO dimer states contain only single electron excitations. The Koopmans' ionization correlations for these UV states would therefore be to the ground electronic state of the cation, consistent with our observations.
