Title: Theoretical modeling of spin-forbidden channels in combustion reactions (Final Report)

The goal of our research is to develop predictive theoretical methods, which can provide crucial quantitative data (e.g., rate constants, branching ratios, heats of formation), identify new channels, and refine reaction mechanisms. Specifically, we are developing tools for computational studies of spin-forbidden and non-adiabatic pathways of reactions relevant to combustion, and applying these tools to study electronic structure, reactions, and spectroscopy of open-shell and electronically excited species involved in these processes. In addition, we are applying the developed methodology to study excited-state processes relevant to photovoltaic applications. In this report, we provide a compilation of annual reports on this project.
