Abstract: | The photochromic ring-opening reaction of spiropyran (SP) has been investigated by a realistic semiclassical dynamics simulation, accompanied by SA3-CASSCF(12,10)/MS-CASPT2 potential energy curves (PECs) of S0-S2. The main simulation results show the dominate pathway corresponds to the ringopening process of trans-SP to form the most stable merocyanine (MC) product. These findings provide more important complementarity for interpreting experimental observations. |
