Potential energy surfaces for the isomerization of diimide and azomethane in the ground, 1(n,π*),3 (n,π*), and 3(π,π*) states have been calculated by ab initio molecular orbital methods. Two mechanisms are considered in detail, the first involving in-plane motion of the substituent group and the second involving twisting about the N—N bond. The first mechanism is preferred for the ground and 3(π,π*) states, whereas the second mechanism is preferred for the (n,π*) states. A significant barrier to rotation is predicted for the 3(π,π*) state. The vibrationally-relaxed (twisted) lowest triplet of diimide is predicted to lie 36 kcal mol−1 above the ground state.

For the Cs + I2 collision system, a systematic theoretical study is first reported using the ab initio method. Three of eight possible channels are considered. The nonadiabatic coupling between the covalent state and the ionic one is calculated from different angles, especially the T-shape collision. The complete ion-pair formation potential energy surfaces of the T-shape collision in two electronic states (ionic 2B2 state and covalent 2A1 state) and the reactive surface of the linear collision are constructed at the QCISD(T)/SDD level. The main features of potential energy surfaces, such as the minimum energy reaction path, the crossing radius (Rc), and energy minimum geometries, are analyzed. The cross section of this titled system is calculated based on the harpoon mechanism and compared with the available experimental data and those obtained for the M + I2 (M = Li, Na) systems.Key words: ab initio two-state potential energy surfaces, nonadiabatic coupling, ion-pair formation, cross section.
