Quantum dynamics simulations demonstrate electronic chirality flips in triatomic molecules, suggesting new pathways for chemical reactions.
Electronic chirality flips in achiral molecules is a hot topic in attosecond and femtosecond chemistry and physics. Our quantum dynamics simulations show that this effect can be induced by a simple Franck–Condon excitation of the A ′ + A ″ superposition of the electronic A ′ ground state plus the first excited A ″ state in the oriented bent triatomic heteronuclear molecule NSF.
