12 A bit of History the first computations: 1969 Van der Lugt and Oosteroff and 1975 Devaquet et al. found that the point of return to the ground state (M*) is an energy minimum. State correlation diagram 2A 1 π 12 π 2 π 32 π 4 S 1! S 1 σ 12 π 1 π 22 σ 2 Avoded crossing Suggests that the non-crossing rule applies not only to diatomic but also to polyatomic molecules 1B 2 1A 1 π 12 π 21 π 31 π 4 S 2! M *! π 12 π 22 π 3 π 4 S 0! S 0 σ 12 π 12 π 2 σ 2 C s symmetry! Slow decay (Fermi Golden Rule - coupling of vibrational states) interpolated and symmetric reaction coordinate
13 A bit of History E. Teller Isr. J. Chem. 7, 227, 1969 in a polyatomic molecule the non-crossing rule, which is rigorously valid for diatomics, fails and two electronic states, even if they have the same symmetry, are allowed to cross at a conical intersection... radiationless decay from the upper to the lower intersecting state occurs within a single vibrational period when the system travels in the vicinity of such intersection points H.C. Longuet-Higgins, The Intersection of Potential Energy Surfaces in Polyatomic Molecules, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. Ser. A., 344, , 1975 thereby disposing of a recent claim that the non-crossing rule for diatomic molecules applies also to polyatomic molecules....

15 A bit of History Zimmerman, Michl and Salem were the first to suggest that, in photochemical organic reactions, the point of return M* may correspond to a conical intersection. Zimmerman and Michl call it photochemical funnel. 1966, Howard Zimmerman 1970, Josef Michl 1974, Lionel Salem
16 CASSCF Gradients of the Excited State Energy (Robb, Bernardi, Schlegel and Olivucci). Structure Predicted from Valence Bond Theory allow to draw guess structures (eg for pericyclic reactions)! A bit of History allow the use optimization methods (eg pseudo Newton-Raphson) 1990 First Conical Intersection Detected for the Ethylene Dimerization (Bernardi, Olivucci, Robb). Computation is carried out on the CRAY-XMP in London Å 1.47 Å 2.08 Å with M. A. Robb and F.
