Multiconfigurational dynamics explain photochemical reactivity and torquoselectivity towards fluorinated polyacetylenes

Abstract

We determined the origin of a photo-torquoselective 4π-electrocyclic ring closing of hexafluoro-[5]-ladderene with multiconfigurational calculations and nonadiabatic dynamics simulations (256 1 ps CASSCF(6,7)/ANO-S-VDZP trajectories).
