RT Journal Article T1 A SA-CASSCF and MS-CASPT2 study on the electronic structure of nitrosobenzene and its relation to its dissociation dynamics. A1 Soto-Martín, Juan A1 Peláez, Daniel A1 Otero-Fernández-de-Molina, Juan Carlos K1 Estructura electrónica K1 Disociación AB The photodissociation channels of nitrosobenzene (PhNO) induced by a 255 nmphotolytic wavelength have been studied with the complete active space self-consistent(CASSCF) method and the multistate second-order multiconfigurational perturbationtheory (MS-CASPT2). It is found that there exists a triplet route for photodissociation ofthe molecule. The reaction mechanism consists on a complex cascade of nonadiabaticelectronic transitions involving triple and double conical intersections as well asintersystem crossing. Several of the relevant states (S2, S4, and S5 states) correspond todouble excitations. It is worthy to note that the last step of the photodissociation impliesan internal conversion process. The experimentally observed velocity pattern of the NOfragment is a signature of such a conical intersection.
