Abstract
A recently proposed two-valued energy switching potential energy surfa ce for the water molecule [J. Chem. Phys. 107, 867 (1997)] is modified to incorporate the proper dissociation limits in all channels pertain ing to the first excited (1)A' electronic state, in addition to those of the ground state. A brief analysis of the loci of conical intersect ions is also presented. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
