✦ Synopsis
Even when a simple valence force field is used to represent the bound state normal modes, the kinetic energy operator couples bending and stretching motions in bent triatomic molecules. These bend-stretch couplings have been ignored in previous theoretical descriptions of photodissociation and are shown here to significantly alter predicted rotational energy distributions. Examples consider model HCN and NOCl photodissociations from bent initial states.
