Ab initio quantum study of the photodynamics and absorption spectrum for the coupled 1(1)A2 and 1(1)B1 states of SO2.

The nonadiabatic photoinduced dynamics occurring in the coupled 1(1)A(2) and 1(1)B(1) excited states of SO(2) is investigated using ab initio quantum dynamical methods. To this end, large scale calculations of the potential energy surfaces have been carried out at the multireference configuration interaction level. All vibrational degrees of freedom of the molecule are considered in the potential energy surface calculations and the quantum dynamical treatment.
