Abstract: | The selectivity of the C-CH(3) and C-CN bond fissions upon excitation of acetyl cyanide at 193 nm has been investigated at the theoretical level of multistate complete active space self-consistent field second order perturbation. The calculated results indicated that the initially excited S(3) state relaxes to S(2) via ultrafast internal conversion. The S(2) state could dissociate via two pathways. One, adiabatically dissociates to CH(3)CO(X)+CN(A). The other one internally converts to S(1) before S(1) intersystem crossing to T(1). The T(1) state subsequently dissociates to two groups of products: CH(3)(X)+OCCN(X) and CH(3)CO(X)+CN(X). The experimentally observed preference branching of CN elimination over CH(3) one and bond selectivity are the results of the competition between the adiabatic and nonadiabatic dynamics of the S(2) state. |
