Revisiting the intricate photodissociation mechanism of ammonia along the minor NH + H 2 pathway
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: three main mechanisms. The majority of the trajectories (98%) undergo nonradiative relaxation to the electronic ground state, from where 29% directly dissociate. Additionally, we observe reverse internal conversion (58%) as well as intersystem crossing (10%), as operative pathways responsible of the rare photodissociation reaction. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics of ammonia photodissociation, particularly its less-studied fragmentation pathway.
