Vibronic coupling in the energetically six lowest electronic states of oxirane radical cation.

Multi-dimensional quantum mechanical simulations are carried out to understand the multi-state and multi-mode vibronic interactions in the first six low-lying viz., X̃2B1, Ã2A1, B̃2B2, C̃2A2, D̃2A1, and Ẽ2B1 electronic states of c-C2H4O·+. Vibronic coupling theory is applied to study interactions among electronic states using symmetry selection rules.

Photoionization of aziridine: Nonadiabatic dynamics of the first six low-lying electronic states of the aziridine radical cation.

In this article, the theoretical photoionization spectroscopy of the aziridine (C2H5N) molecule is investigated. To start with, we have optimized the geometry of this molecule at the neutral electronic ground state at the density functional theory/augmented correlation-consistent polarized valence triple zeta level of theory using the G09 program. The electronic structure calculations were restricted to the first six low-lying electronic states in order to account for the experimental photoelectron spectrum of the C2H5N molecule.

Elucidation of vibronic structure and dynamics of first eight excited electronic states of pentafluorobenzene.

Vibronic coupling in the first eight electronic excited states of Pentafluorobenzene (PFBz) is investigated in this article.

A model 8 × 8 diabatic Hamiltonian is constructed in terms of normal coordinate of vibrational modes using the standard vibronic coupling theory and symmetry selection rule.

Multi-state and Multi-mode Vibronic Coupling Effects in the Photoionization Spectroscopy of Acetaldehyde.

Multi-state and multi-mode vibronic dynamics in the seven energetically low-lying (, , , , , , and ) electronic states of the acetaldehyde radical cation is theoretically studied in this article.

The Jahn-Teller (JT) and pseudo-Jahn-Teller (PJT) effects in the , and electronic states of the propyne radical cation are investigated with the aid of quantum chemistry calculations and first principles quantum dynamics simulations. For the latter, both time-independent and time-dependent quantum mechanical methods are employed. Standard vibronic coupling theory is used to construct a symmetry consistent vibronic Hamiltonian in a diabatic electronic basis.
