H-abstraction is more efficient than cis–trans isomerization in (4-methylcyclohexylidene) fluoromethane. An ab initio molecular dynamics study
Literature Information
Daniel Kinzel, Jesús González-Vázquez, Leticia González
Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations have been performed in the fluoro-olefin (4-methylcyclohexylidene) fluoromethane (4MCF) using multiconfigurational CASSCF (complete active space self-consistent field) on-the-fly calculations. As an olefin containing a CC double bond, 4MCF is expected to undergo cis–trans isomerization after light irradiation. However, ab initio molecular dynamics shows that a preferential dissociation of atomic hydrogen is taking place after population transfer to the bright ππ* state. This state is strongly mixed with πσ* states allowing dissociation in the electronic excited state before deactivation to the ground state occurs. A minor amount of trajectories experiences F-dissociation, followed by pyramidalization at the sp2 carbons and CHF dissociation. In contrast, the amount of trajectories undergoing torsion around the double bond, and therefore cis–trans isomerization, is marginal. The H-abstraction reaction is ultrafast, taking place in less than 60 fs.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
