Abstract: Using the complete active space self-consistent field(CASSCF) method with the atomic natural orbital(ANO) basis set, we studied the ground state and low-lying excited states of fluorine nitrate and its cation. The stable geometry of ground state was the planar structure with the Cs symmetry, but the stable structures of excited states were changed to the nonplanar structure. However, the similar change of the cation geometry was not observed. Furthermore, the vertical ionization potential of the fluorine nitrate molecular was studied on the basis of the optimized geometry of the ground state. Taking the dynamic correlation effects into account, we used the second-order perturbation(CASPT2) method to obtain more reliable energies. The assignment of the first two bands is in an excellent agreement with the experimental data and the theoretical results, but in the higher energy region, the different assignments were completed bass of the CASPT2 results.
