We have calculated the lowest order relativistic corrections for the X 1 Σ g + , B 1 Σ u + , a 3 Σ g + , b 3 Σ u + , I 1 Π g , C 1 Π u , i 3 Π g , c 3 Π u , J 1 Δ g , and j 3 Δ g states of the hydrogen molecule using variational Monte Carlo methods and compact, explicitly correlated trial wavefunctions. Our values are in good agreement with earlier calculations on the X 1 Σ g +and B 1 Σ u +states. For the other states, our work provides the first estimate of these properties. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011
