Fig. 2 Intramolecular twisting in DMABN. In the excited state, the molecule has a high propensity to rotate the dimethylamino group out of the planar ground-state configuration [3]. This process changes the dipole energy, and relaxation from...

Graphical representation of the electron configuration o of a closed-shell molecule M and of the configurations 20 of its radical cation M+ as approximations to the states and 2j (J = 1,2,3). The arrows in the representations of 22 and 23 indicate that these configurations correspond to electronic excitations of M+, relative to its ground-state configuration 2 i... 

In situ and ex situ STM studies of self-assembled butanethiol/ Au (111) have been performed [136] in order to determine the ground-state configuration and long-term behavior of this system at room temperature. The results have shown that the most stable surface structure is a c(4 x 2) reconstruction of the basic ( 3 x 3)R30° adsorption site geometry containing four distinguishable molecules. This structure is extremely sensitive to the presence of defects in the substrate. Probably, the... 

Depending on the type of interaction between an adsorbed particle and a solid state surface there are cases, where adsorption enthalpies can be calculated using empirical and semi-empirical relations. In the case of atoms with a noble-gas like ground-state configuration and of symmetrical molecules the binding energy (EB) to a solid surface can be calculated as a function of the polarizability (a), the ionization potential (IP), the distance (R) between the adsorbed atom or molecule and the surface, and the relative dielectric constants (e) (Method 9) [58-61] ... 

As far as equation (55a) is concerned, the enthalpy term is accurately known for most metals, corresponding to the transfer of the solid metal to its state of a monoatomic gas in its high-spin ground-state configuration. Equation (55b) contains the negative value of the bond enthalpy, which, divided by the number of M O bonds in the molecule, gives the mean bond dissociation enthalpy. M(CO) (g) differs from M(CO) (s) or M(CO) (l) by the heats of sublimation or vaporization, respectively.
