A Qualitative Physical Model for Photochemical Reactions in Solution

1 A Qualitative Physical Model for Photochemical Reactions in Solution 

A starting point for the discussion of experimental results in mechanistic photochemistry is the knowledge of the shapes of the ground-state (S ) and 

This simple model ignores molecular dynamics problems as well as information on additional excited states, density of vibrational levels, vibronic coupling matrix elements, etc., which are required in more sophisticated advanced applications.
