Franck-Condon (FC) integrals of polyatomic molecules are computed on the basis of vibrational self-consistent-field (VSCF) or configuration-interaction (VCI) calculations capable of including vibrational anharmonicity to any desired extent (within certain molecular size limits). The anharmonic vibrational wave functions of the initial and final states are expanded unambiguously by harmonic oscillator basis functions of normal coordinates of the respective electronic states. The anharmonic FC integrals are then obtained as linear combinations of harmonic counterparts, which can, in turn, be evaluated by established techniques taking account of the Duschinsky rotations, geometry displacements, and frequency changes. Alternatively, anharmonic wave functions of both states are expanded by basis functions of just one electronic state, permitting the FC integral to be evaluated directly by the Gauss-Hermite quadrature used in the VSCF and VCI steps [Bowman et al., Mol. Phys. 104, 33 (2006)]. These methods in conjunction with the VCI and coupled-cluster with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] method have predicted the peak positions and intensities of the vibrational manifold in the
2B1 photoelectron band of H2O with quantitative accuracy. It has revealed that two weakly visible peaks are the result of intensity borrowing from nearby states through anharmonic couplings, an effect explained qualitatively by VSCF and quantitatively by VCI, but not by the harmonic approximation. The
2B2 photoelectron band of H2CO is less accurately reproduced by this method, likely because of the inability of CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ to describe the potential energy surface of open-shell H2CO+ with the same high accuracy as in H2O+.

- The calculated CO and CH bond lengths and HCH bond angle are 1.197 Å, 1.107 Å, and 121.1° at the coupledcluster with singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT) level with the cc-pVTZ basis set; 1.192 Å, 1.103 Å, and 121.4° at the ionization-potential equation-of-motion CCSD (IP-EOM-CCSD) method with the cc-pVTZ basis set; and 1.200 Å, 1.114 Å, and 121.2° at the CCSD(T) (frozen core) level with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. None of these results seems to be an essential improvement over the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ result in comparison with the experimental data in Table IV.
