Owing to ring strain, cyclic ketones exhibit complex excited state dynamics with multiple competing photochemical channels active on the ultrafast timescale. While the excited state …
This research examines the nonadiabatic dynamics of cyclobutanone after excitation into the n→ 3s Rydberg S 2 state. It stems from our contribution to the Special Topic of the Journal of …
