Abstract

Novel issues of electronic nonadiabatic coupling in the excited state dynamics of prototypical naphthalene radical cation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon of the polyacene family are theoretically investigated. A benchmark ab initio quantum dynamical study is performed and its complex vibronic spectra and nonradiative decay are examined. The findings are in very good accord with the experiment, unambiguously establishing the crucial role of intricate electron-nuclear coupling in the photoinduced dynamical processes of this system.
