Ultrafast electron diffraction of photoexcited gas-phase cyclobutanone predicted by ab initio multiple cloning simulations

Ultrafast electron diffraction of photoexcited gas-phase cyclobutanone predicted by ab initio multiple cloning simulations

We present the result of our calculations of ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) for cyclobutanone excited into the S2 electronic state, which is based on the non-adiabatic dynamics simulations with the Ab Initio Multiple Cloning (AIMC) method with the electronic structure calculated at the SA(3)-CASSCF(12,12)/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory…

The Photochemistry of Rydberg-Excited Cyclobutanone: Photoinduced Processes and Ground State Dynamics

Owing to ring-strain, cyclic ketones exhibit complex excited-state dynamics with multiple competing photochemical channels active on the ultrafast timescale. While the excitedstate dynamics of cyclobutanone after π ∗ ← n excitation into the lowest-energy excited singlet state (S1) has been extensively studied, the dynamics following 3s ← n excitation into the higher-lying singlet Rydberg (S2) state are less well understood…
