Potential energy surface crossings in organic photochemistry

Bernardi, Fernando, Olivucci, Massimo, Robb, Michael A.·1996·Chemical Society Reviews

Abstract

Modern experiments and quantum chemical computations show that low lying potential energy surface crossings (conical and singlet-triplet intersections) are a general feature of photochemically relevant excited states. This review focuses on the computational and experimental investigation of the efficiency of internal conversion at a surface crossing, the competition with fluorescence when an excited state barrier is present, and the relationship between the molecular structure at the intersection and structure of the photoproducts. It is shown that single or successive low-lying intersections provide the bottlenecks controlling the evolution of a photoexcited molecule from the Franck-Condon region to the photoproduct valleys.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
