Carbonyl complexes of metals with an α-diimine ligand exhibit both emission and ligand-selective photodissociation from MLCT states. Studying this photodissociative mechanism is challenging for experimental approaches due to an ultrafast femtosecond timescale and spectral overlap of multiple photoproducts. The photochemistry of a prototypical system is investigated with non-adiabatic dynamic simulations.

We revisit the naked transition metal cation (Ti) and methanol reaction and go beyond the standard Landau-Zener (LZ) picture when modeling the intersystem crossing (ISC) rate between the lowest doublet and quartet states. We use both (i) unconstrained Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) calculations with an approximate two-state method to estimate population transfer between spin diabats and (ii) constrained dynamics to explore energetically accessible portions of the - 1 crossing seam, where is the total number of internal degrees of freedom. Whereas previous LZ calculations (that necessarily relied on the Condon approximation to be valid) fell short and predicted much slower crossing probabilities than shown in experiment, we show that ISC can occur rapidly because the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between the doublet and quartet surfaces can vary by 2 orders of magnitude (depending on where in the seam the crossing occurs during dynamics) and the crossing region is revisited multiple times during a dynamics run of a few hundred femtoseconds.

Plasmonic catalysis is a rapidly growing field of research, both from experimental and computational perspectives. Experimental observations demonstrate an enhanced dissociation rate for molecules in the presence of plasmonic nanoparticles under low-intensity visible light. The hot-carrier transfer from the nanoparticle to the molecule is often claimed as the mechanism for dissociation.

Deep eutectic electrolytes (DEEs) show promise for future electrochemical systems due to their adjustable buffer capacities. This study utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyse the carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR) in DEEs with a buffer capacity of approximately 10.21 mol/pH.

The recent discovery of cyano-substituted aromatic and two-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules in Taurus Molecular Cloud-1 has prompted questions on how the electronic structure and excited-state dynamics of these molecules are linked with their existence and abundance. Here, we report a photodetachment and frequency- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study of jet-cooled para-deprotonated benzonitrile (p-[Bzn-H]-). The adiabatic detachment energy was determined as 1.
