The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

This paper maps the low-lying electronic states and key energetic properties of thallium monoxide and its ions for the first time at high relativistic accuracy. It finds that neutral TlO is a bound molecule whose ground state is mixed by spin-orbit coupling, while the ground electronic state of the TlO+ cation is purely repulsive and therefore unbound. Dissociation energies, electron affinity, ionization potential, dipole moment and polarizability are reported, and the results are used to interpret how Tl-containing molecules form during gas thermochromatography experiments that also serve as models for the superheavy element nihonium. The unbound character of TlO+ implies that the neutral molecule is more likely to form on a surface than in the gas phase after an ion is neutralized.

Core claim

High-level relativistic Fock-space coupled-cluster calculations that include connected triple excitations show that the ground electronic state of the TlO+ cation is unbound: its low-lying 3Pi and 1Sigma+ components remain repulsive once spin-orbit coupling is taken into account. Neutral TlO, by contrast, is bound, with a dissociation energy of approximately 2.66 eV, an adiabatic electron affinity of 2.03 eV and a vertical ionization potential of 10.16 eV.

What carries the argument

Relativistic Fock-space coupled-cluster theory with full iterative triples (FS-RCCSDT), applied in the 1h0p and 2h0p sectors relative to closed-shell TlO- as the Fermi vacuum, together with thermochemical cycles that recover dissociation energies from computed electron affinities and ionization potentials plus experimental atomic data.

Load-bearing premise

Dissociation energies of the open-shell species cannot be obtained inside the low Fock-space sectors and must be reconstructed from thermochemical cycles that insert experimental atomic electron affinity and ionization potential values.

What would settle it

A laboratory measurement of the TlO+ dissociation energy or a spectroscopic observation of a bound vibrational progression in the cation ground state would directly test the claim that the ground electronic state is unbound.

Referee Report

2 major / 5 minor

Summary. The manuscript reports a systematic relativistic electronic-structure study of TlO, TlO+, and TlO−. Low-lying potential curves and spectroscopic constants are obtained primarily with the Fock-space coupled-cluster method including connected triples (FS-RCCSDT) and an intermediate-Hamiltonian treatment of the 2h0p sector, with cross-checks against two-component DFT/PBE0 and scalar-relativistic CCSD(T)+ΔSO. The central results are that neutral TlO is bound (De ≈ 2.66 eV at FS-RCCSDT) with three low-lying states (X 2Σ+1/2 and the 2Π components) that exhibit an avoided crossing, that TlO− is strongly bound (De ≈ 3.23 eV), and that the ground electronic state of TlO+ is unbound (purely repulsive low-lying 3Π and 1Σ+ components). Vertical IP and adiabatic EA of TlO, dipole moment, and static polarizability components are also reported, and the data are used to discuss possible formation of TlO on gold surfaces in thermochromatography experiments relevant to nihonium chemistry.

Significance. Spectra of TlO and its ions have never been observed, and prior theory is limited to a single composite De estimate and one DFT Re value. The present work supplies the first detailed map of low-lying states for all three charge states, establishes the unbound character of TlO+ from first-principles curves, and provides IP, EA, μ, and α that can be used for adsorption-energy estimates. The FS-RCCSDT protocol (additive triples, counterpoise correction, intermediate Hamiltonian) is a high-level standard for such systems; agreement of IP/EA/De with DFT and CCSD(T)+ΔSO to ~0.2 eV strengthens confidence. The results are directly relevant to ongoing gas-thermochromatography work on Tl and Nh and give a concrete, falsifiable prediction (repulsive TlO+ curves) that can guide future experiments and calculations on NhO.

major comments (2)
  1. Section II and Table II: Dissociation energies of the open-shell species are reconstructed via thermochemical cycles that insert experimental EA(O) and IP(Tl). While this is standard and does not affect the unbound character of TlO+ (which follows directly from the repulsive FS-RCCSDT curves in Fig. 1), the manuscript should quantify the residual uncertainty that arises from the incomplete cancellation of basis-set and correlation errors between De(TlO−), EA(TlO), and the atomic data, or at least state an estimated error bar on De(TlO) and De(TlO−) beyond the ~0.2 eV method-to-method scatter already shown.
  2. Fig. 1 caption and Section III: For TlO+ the FS-RCCSDT curves cannot be continued beyond R ≈ 2.1 Å because of amplitude-equation instability. The claim that the ground state is unbound is therefore based on the short-range repulsive wall and the absence of a minimum inside the accessible region. A short additional check (e.g., FS-RCCSD or intermediate-Hamiltonian continuation to larger R, or a single-point comparison at a larger distance with a different active-space choice) would make the purely repulsive character more robust against the possibility of a shallow long-range well.
minor comments (5)
  1. Table I: Vibrational constants marked with an asterisk are harmonic; the text (Section III) correctly notes that the (1)1/2 state of TlO will be strongly non-adiabatic already at low v. Adding a brief note in the table caption that the listed ωe for (1)1/2 is only a harmonic estimate would avoid misreading.
  2. Section III, paragraph on high-lying states: The approximate Te values obtained in the 0h1p and 1h2p sectors are useful for context, but the estimated uncertainties (0.1 eV and ~0.6 eV) should be stated next to each number in the text for clarity.
  3. Table III: Only FS-RCCSD and DFT/PBE0 dipole moments are given; a CCSD(T)+ΔSO value (or a short statement why it was omitted) would complete the method comparison already used for the energetic quantities.
  4. References: The recent experimental thermochromatography papers on Tl (e.g., Wilson et al. 2025, Serov et al. 2013) are cited; a one-sentence pointer in the introduction to the corresponding Nh experiments would help non-specialist readers see the direct link.
  5. Typographical: In the abstract and several places the cation is written TlO$^+$ while the anion is TlO$^-$; consistent use of the same math-mode style throughout would improve appearance.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity: first-principles FS-RCCSDT curves establish unbound TlO+; thermochemical cycles use only external atomic data.

full rationale

The paper's central results (low-lying PECs of TlO/TlO+/TlO-, spectroscopic constants, unbound character of TlO+ ground state) are obtained directly from relativistic FS-RCCSDT (and supporting DFT/CCSD(T)+ΔSO) calculations on the molecular systems themselves (Fig. 1, Table I). Dissociation energies of the open-shell species are reconstructed via thermochemical cycles that insert only well-established experimental atomic values EA(O)=1.46 eV and IP(Tl)=6.11 eV; these are external benchmarks, not fitted molecular parameters, and the paper explicitly notes that De(TlO+) cannot be obtained from the cycle precisely because the curves are repulsive. No quantity is defined in terms of itself, no molecular parameter is fitted and then re-presented as a prediction, and self-citations are confined to methodological infrastructure (GRPPs, FS-RCCSDT implementation, basis-set construction) that does not encode the target molecular results. The derivation chain is therefore self-contained against external atomic data and independent electronic-structure computations.

Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger

0 free parameters · 3 axioms · 0 invented entities

The central claims rest on standard relativistic electronic-structure machinery (GRPPs, FS-RCCSDT, DFT) and two experimental atomic constants used only for thermochemical cycles. No free parameters are fitted to molecular data, and no new physical entities are postulated.

axioms (3)
  • domain assumption Two-component generalized relativistic pseudopotentials (GRPPs) that fold in Breit, finite-nuclear-size and leading QED effects are sufficiently accurate for low-energy molecular properties of TlO.
    Invoked throughout Section II; accuracy is justified by prior atomic benchmarks rather than re-derived here.
  • domain assumption Experimental atomic values EA(O) = 1.46 eV and IP(Tl) = 6.11 eV may be combined with computed molecular EA/IP to obtain absolute dissociation energies via thermochemical cycles.
    Explicitly used in Section II because De cannot be computed directly inside the low Fock-space sectors.
  • domain assumption An additive FS-RCCSD + FS-RCCSDT correction scheme with frozen core orbitals recovers the dominant connected-triples contribution to excitation energies and IPs.
    Described in Section II; standard practice but not formally proven for the present active space.

The electronic structure and properties of the thallium monoxide (TlO) molecule, as well as its cation and anion, have been systematically studied using both the relativistic Fock-space coupled cluster method with full inclusion of connected triple excitations and the density functional theory. For the first time, detailed data on the low-lying electronic states of TlO, its cation, and anion have been obtained. The dissociation energies of these systems, the adiabatic electron affinity and vertical ionization potential of TlO, as well as its dipole moment and components of the static polarizability tensor have been calculated. It is shown that the ground electronic state of TlO$^+$ cation is unbound. The obtained characteristics of TlO are highly relevant for interpreting experimental thermochromatography data on compounds of thallium and its superheavy homologue nihonium (element 113).
