ABSTRACT
By comparison with other systems, vibronic coupling between an h-type vibration and an H-type electronic level in a H...h Jahn-Teller system would be expected to result in a vibronic H-type ground state. However, it is already known that an A state can cross over the H state at a given coupling strength and become the ground state if the ground adiabatic potential energy surface contains minima of D[sub 3d] symmetry. This is an unusual property of the H...h Jahn-Teller system. In this article, the physics behind the crossover is analyzed in terms of competition between tunneling paths between D[sub 3d] wells of C[sub 1] and C[sub 2] symmetries. The H...h Jahn-Teller system is relevant to some fullerenes and other icosahedral complexes.

The fluorescence spectra of a series of bichromophoric molecules consisting of covalently linked fluorene units were investigated in a supersonic jet. In three of the systems (spirobifluorene, d8h8-spirobifluorene and 1-methyl spirobifluorene) no electronic coupling and no corresponding exciton...

Pure rotational transitions of a new carbon-chain radical, CCCl, a chlorine derivative of CCH, have been observed for the first time by Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. The radical has been produced in a supersonic free jet by a pulsed discharge in CCl[SUB4] diluted to 0.3% with Ne....

Pair formation occurs when the free energy for charge disproportionation is negative, i.e., U < 0. The Mott-Hubbard energy U is here approximated by U = I âˆ’ Aâˆ’1/ R, where I âˆ’ A > 0 is the difference between ionization energy and electron affinity, and R is the distance between...

The degeneracy of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of graphs may be broken by non-uniform changes of the edge weights. This symmetry breaking is the graph-theoretical equivalent of the molecular Jahn-Teller effect (Ceulemans et al. in Proc Roy Soc 468:971-989, ). It is investigated for...
