Y. Zeiri et al., Quantum mechanism in the photodissociation of NaFH complex: a challenge tosemiclassical analysis, CHEM P LETT, 300(5-6), 1999, pp. 523-528
The photodissociation of collinear HF ... Na van der Waals complexes is inv
estigated by quantum mechanical wave packet propagation and by five semicla
ssical trajectory methods. For this system, with strongly avoided crossing,
none of the semiclassical theories is qualitatively correct for either hal
f-lives or the branching ratios. Quantum calculations show a substantial is
otope effect. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
