We present restricted geometry (collinear and perpendicular approaches of proton) ab initio three dimensional potential energy surfaces for H++ CN system. The calculations were performed at the internally contracted multi-reference configuration interaction level of theory using Dunning’s correlation consistent polarized valence triple zeta basis set. Adiabatic and quasidiabatic surfaces have been computed for the ground and the first excited electronic states. Nonadiabatic effects arising from radial coupling have been analyzed in terms of nonadiabatic coupling matrix elements and coupling potentials.
