Title: Insights into the Mechanism of Nonadiabatic Photodissociation from Product Vibrational Distributions. The Remarkable Case of Phenol

Abstract

The fate of a photoexcited molecule is often strongly influencedby electronic degeneracies, such as conical intersections, which break the Born-Oppenheimer separation of electronic and nuclear motion. Detailed information concerning internal energy redistribution in a nonadiabatic process can beextracted from the product state distribution of a photofragment in photo-dissociation. Here, we focus on the nonadiabatic photodissociation of phenol and discuss the internal excitation of the phenoxyl fragment using both symmetry analysis and wave packet dynamics. It is shown that unique and general selection rules exist, which can be attributed to the geometric phase in the adiabatic representation. Further, our results provide a reinterpretation of the experimental data, shedding light on the importance of conical intersections on the product state distribution.
