The experiments showed that molecules which support valence-bound anion states may also exhibit features characteristic of dipole-bound anions. This paper considers the diabatic coupling terms between dipole-bound and valence-bound negative ion states of nitromethane. %N 2 %P 685 - 690 %V 120 %D 2004 %R 10.1063/1.1629669 %L pittir18026
