A three-dimensional potential energy surface of the electronic ground state of ZnH
2 (${X}^1\sum _g^ +$ ) molecule is constructed from more than 7500 ab initio points calculated at the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction with the Davidson correction (icMRCI+Q) level employing large basis sets. The calculated relative energies of various dissociation reactions are in good agreement with the previous theoretical/experimental values. Low-lying vibrational energy levels of ZnH2 , ZnD2 , and HZnD are calculated on the three-dimensional potential energy surface using the Lanczos algorithm, and found to be in good agreement with the available experimental band origins and the previous theoretical values. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
