Dynamical Outcomes of Quenching: Reflections on a Conical Intersection

Video 1    Sample trajectory for the nonreactive quenching of OH A²Σ⁺ by H2, initiated at a C2v conical intersection. The large degree of OH rotational excitation is seen, consistent with experimental results, as well as significant H2 vibration. Video 1 reprinted with permission from Reference 17.

Video 2    Sample trajectory for the reactive quenching of OH A²Σ⁺ by H2, showing an abstraction process initiated at a C2v conical intersection. The water product is shown to have significant vibrational excitation. Video 2 reprinted with permission from Reference 17. Copyright 2010, AIP Publishing LLC.

Video 3    Sample trajectory for the reactive quenching of OH A²Σ⁺ by H2, showing an insertion process initiated at a C2v conical intersection. As with the abstraction channel, the water product is shown to have significant vibrational excitation. Video 3 reprinted with permission from Reference 17. Copyright 2010, AIP Publishing LLC.
