  • Title: UV excitation and radiationless deactivation of imidazole.
    Author: Barbatti M, Lischka H, Salzmann S, Marian CM.
    Journal: J Chem Phys; 2009 Jan 21; 130(3):034305. PubMed ID: 19173519.
    Abstract:
    The vertical spectrum and the radiationless decay of imidazole have been investigated theoretically. Benchmark calculations were performed employing different methods and levels. Four different conical intersections were characterized and the reaction paths connecting the Franck-Condon region to them were computed. Two of the conical intersections show puckered structures while the other two show NH and ring dissociation patterns. The pipi( *)/S(0) N(1)-puckered conical intersection is connected to the planar pisigma( *)/S(0) ring-opened conical intersection by a branch of the crossing seam. After excitation into the first (1)pipi( *) state, the internal conversion can occur either in this branch of crossing seam or along the NH-dissociation path.
