Full-dimensional semiclassical dynamical calculations are reported for the photofragmentation of isocyanic acid in the S1 state. These calculations, performed for the first time, allow to closely reproduce the key features of high-resolution imaging measurements at photolysis wavelengths of 201 and 210 nm while providing insight into the underlying dissociation mechanism.

Exploring molecular breakup processes induced by light-matter interactions has both fundamental and practical implications. However, it remains a challenge to elucidate the underlying reaction mechanism in the strong field regime, where the potential
s of the reactant are modified dramatically. Here, we perform a theoretical analysis combined with a time-dependent wavepacket calculation to show how a strong ultrafast laser field affects the photofragment products. As an example, we examine the photochemical reaction of breaking up the molecule NaI into the neutral atoms Na and I, which due to inherent nonadiabatic couplings is indirectly formed in a stepwise fashion via the reaction intermediate NaI. By analyzing the angular dependencies of fragment distributions, we are able to identify the reaction intermediate NaI from the weak to the strong field-induced nonadiabatic regimes. Furthermore, the energy levels of NaI can be extracted from the quantum interference patterns of the transient photofragment momentum distribution.
We present the gas-phase infrared spectra of the phenyl cation, phenylium, in its perprotio C$_6$H$_5^+$ and perdeutero C$_6$D$_5^+$ forms, in the 260-1925 cm$^{-1}$ (5.2-38 $mu$m) spectral range, and investigate the observed photofragmentation. The
spectral and fragmentation data were obtained using Infrared Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy within a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer (FTICR MS) located inside the cavity of the free electron laser FELICE (Free Electron Laser for Intra-Cavity Experiments). The $^1$A$_1$ singlet nature of the phenylium ion is ascertained by comparison of the observed IR spectrum with DFT calculations, using both harmonic and anharmonic frequency calculations. To investigate the observed loss of predominantly [2C,nH] (n=2-4) fragments, we explored the potential energy surface (PES) to unravel possible isomerization and fragmentation reaction pathways. The lowest energy pathways toward fragmentation include direct H elimination, and a combination of facile ring-opening mechanisms ($leq2.4$ eV), followed by elimination of H or CCH$_2$. Energetically, all H-loss channels found are more easily accessible than CCH$_2$-loss. Calculations of the vibrational density of states for the various intermediates show that at high internal energies, ring opening is the thermodynamically the most advantageous, eliminating direct H-loss as a competing process. The observed loss of primarily [2C,2H] can be explained through entropy calculations that show favored loss of [2C,2H] at higher internal energies.
An adaptation of the full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) method is presented, for correlated electron problems containing heavy elements and the presence of significant relativistic effects. The modified algorithm allows for t
he sampling of the four-component spinors of the Dirac--Coulomb(--Breit) Hamiltonian within the relativistic no-pair approximation. The loss of spin symmetry and the general requirement for complex-valued Hamiltonian matrix elements are the most immediate considerations in expanding the scope of FCIQMC into the relativistic domain, and the alternatives for their efficient implementation are motivated and demonstrated. For the canonical correlated four-component chemical benchmark application of Thallium Hydride, we show that the necessary modifications do not particularly adversely affect the convergence of the systematic (initiator) error to the exact correlation energy for FCIQMC calculations, which is primarily dictated by the sparsity of the wave function, allowing the computational effort to somewhat bypass the formal increases in Hilbert space dimension for these problems. We apply the method to the larger problem of the spectroscopic constants of Tin Oxide, correlating 28 electrons in 122 Kramers-paired spinors, finding good agreement with experimental and prior theoretical relativistic studies.
A block-correlated coupled cluster (BCCC) method based on the generalized valence bond (GVB) wave function (GVB-BCCC in short) is proposed and implemented at the ab initio level, which represents an attractive multireference electronic structure meth
od for strongly correlated systems. The GVB-BCCC method is demonstrated to provide accurate descriptions for multiple bond breaking in small molecules, although the GVB reference function is qualitatively wrong for the studied processes. For a challenging prototype of strongly correlated systems, tridecane with all 12 single C-C bonds at various distances, our calculations have shown that the GVB-BCCC2b method can provide highly comparable results as the density matrix renormalization group method for potential energy surfaces along simultaneous dissociation of all C-C bonds.
Singlet fission, the molecular process through which photons are effectively converted into pairs of lower energy triplet excitons, holds promise as a means of boosting photovoltaic device efficiencies. In the preceding article of this series, we for
mulated a vibronic theory of singlet fission, inspired by previous experimental and theoretical studies suggesting that vibronic coupling plays an important role in fission dynamics. Here, we extend our model in order to simulate two-dimensional electronic spectra, through which the theory is further validated based on a comparison to recent measurements on pentacene crystals. Moreover, by means of such spectral simulations, we provide new insights into the nature of the correlated triplet pair state, the first product intermediate in the fission process. In particular, we address a disagreement in the literature regarding the identification, energies, and transition dipole moments of its optical transitions towards higher-lying triplet states.
