Abstract
We present a technique for the calculation of Franck–Condon factors and other integrals between vibronic wave functions belonging to different electronic states. The technique is well suited for the determination of the nonadiabatic or spin‐orbit couplings related to radiationless decays in polyatomics. Rigorous or approximate partitions of the internal coordinate space are exploited to achieve better efficiency and/or to go beyond the harmonic approximation. The technique is tested by computing the Internal Conversion and InterSystem Crossing rates of (CH~3~)~3~CNO in its ^1^(n→π*) state. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 22: 968–975, 2001

Exact and adiabatic treatments of resonance Raman excitation profiles of vibronically active totally symmetric modes are compared. It is shown that an extension of the adiabatic treatment beyond linear non-Condon terms is necessary for situations where the interacting electronic states have very dif
