Abstract
Energies of the and states of have been calculated using a first-order wave function designed to include the strongly structure-dependent part of the correlation energy. Comparing the calculations to those of other appropriate systems, the remaining correlation energy is reliably estimated and the state is predicted to be metastable, lying 0.844 eV below the state of N. Instability of the state is predicted.
