Ultrafast Intersystem Crossing in SO${}_2$ and Nucleobases

Abstract

Mixed quantum-classical dynamics simulations show that intersystem crossing between singlet and triplet states in SO${}_2$ and in nucleobases takes place on an ultrafast timescale (few 100~fs), directly competing with internal conversion.
