โฆ Synopsis
Potential energy surfaces of low-lying excited states of ICN have been calculated for linear and bent dissociation using the ab initio spin-orbit CI method with the effective spin-orbit Hamiltoman. Contrary to popular belief, all the relevant excited surfaces are bent in the Franck-Condon region and a conical intersection is found at a longer C-I distance, 2.70 A. Based on the calculated surfaces, we propose a new model for the photodissociation dynamics.

The mechanism of electronic quenching of the A 2A state of CH by ground-state H, is qualitatively investigated by calculating the appropriate potential energy surfaces. It is shown that the appearance of an early potential barrier of 0.15 eV and of a late barrier of 0.6 eV on the potential energy su
