The standard enthalpy of formation, Δ<sub>f</sub><i>H</i>°, of <sup>2</sup>Π<sub>3/2</sub> SH has been determined at converged levels of ab initio
electronic structure theory, including high-order coupled cluster and full configuration interaction benchmarks.
The atomic Gaussian basis sets employed include the (aug)-cc-p(wC)V<i>n</i>Z family with <i>n</i> = 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Extrapolations to the complete one-particle basis set and the full configuration interaction limits, where
appropriate, have been performed to reduce remaining computational errors. Additional improvements in the
enthalpy of formation of <sup>2</sup>Π SH were achieved by appending the valence-only treatment with core−valence
correlation, scalar relativistic and spin−orbit effects, and the diagonal Born−Oppenheimer correction. The
recommended values for Δ<sub>f</sub>
and Δ<sub>f</sub>
of <sup>2</sup>Π SH are
and
kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>, respectively,
corresponding to a recommended <i>D</i><sub>e</sub> =
kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>. The corresponding enthalpy of formation of <sup>2</sup>Π
SD is Δ<sub>f</sub>
=
kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>.
