Photochemistry of bromofluorobenzenes

Borg, OA ; Liu, Ya-Jun LU ; Persson, Petter LU ; Lunell, S ; Karlsson, D ; Kadi, M and Davidsson, J (2006) In The Journal of Physical Chemistry Part A: Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment and General Theory 110(22). p.7045-7056
Abstract
The photochemistry of low lying excited states of six different fluorinated bromobenzenes has been investigated by means of femtosecond laser spectroscopy and high level ab initio CASSCF/CASPT2 quantum chemical calculations. The objective of the work was to investigate how and to what extent light substituents, position on the benzene ring and number, would influence the dissociation mechanism of bromobenzene. In general, the actual position of a fluorine atom affects the dissociation rate to a less extent than the number of fluorine atoms. A clear connection between a lowering of a repulsive pi sigma* relative to a bound pi pi* state and the number of fluorine substituents exists, and the previously suggested model of coupling between...

A clear connection between a lowering of a repulsive pi sigma* relative to a bound pi pi* state and the number of fluorine substituents exists, and the previously suggested model of coupling between dissociation rate and relative location of bound and repulsive state still holds for these molecules. A more elaborate examination of the electronic structure of the excited states in bromobenzenes than previously reported is presented. (Less)
