CrCO was studied using density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio methods. We obtained the two‐dimensional potential energy surface (PES), geometry, and vibrational frequencies for CrCO in a septet state. Two minimum structures were found in the CCSD(T) calculation, including a local minimum that is a weak van der Waals (vdW) complex. All DFT methods yield only one minimum structure. We demonstrate that the bond dissociation energy (0.50 kcal/mol) and vibrational frequency (1981.1 cm −1 ) of CrCO calculated using CCSD(T) are in better agreement with experimental values (<1.5 kcal/mol and 1977 cm −1 ) than any of the reported theoretical studies. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
