Abstract
In this Letter is considered a reduced molecular manifold which is weakly c oupled to several external states. It is shown, that if these couplings are of the order of epsilon, the adiabatic-to-diabatic transformation matrix A (s), as obtained by solving the line integral within the reduced manifold, as well as the corresponding diabatic potentials are perturbed to the exten t of O(epsilon (2)).
