High-level ab initio electronic structure calculations were performed to characterize SNP isomers. In addition to the known linear SNP, cyc-PSN, and linear SPN isomers, we identified a fourth isomer, linear PSN, which is located ∼2.4 eV above the linear SNP isomer. The low-lying singlet and triplet electronic states of the linear SNP and SPN isomers were investigated using a multi-reference configuration interaction method and large basis set. Several bound electronic states were identified. However, their upper rovibrational levels were predicted to pre-dissociate, leading to S + PN, P + NS products, and multi-step pathways were discovered. For the ground states, a set of spectroscopic parameters were derived using standard and explicitly correlated coupled-cluster methods in conjunction with augmented correlation-consistent basis sets extrapolated to the complete basis set limit. We also considered scalar and core-valence effects. For linear isomers, the rovibrational spectra were deduced after generation of their 3D-potential energy surfaces along the stretching and bending coordinates and variational treatments of the nuclear motions.
