Non-adiabatic photodissociation dynamics of vinyl iodide from nσ* and nπ* transitions
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: π* transition. The subsequent dissociation dynamics from that state features an ultrafast electronic predissociation with sub-200 femtosecond reaction time. State-switching at a first CI with a low-lying electronic state governing the mechanism involves states of completely different character, occurring in less than 20 fs. This remarkably fast process takes place through an initial stretch of the CC bond, followed by a C-I elongation with subsequent vibrational activity in the CC stretch mode.
