A pathway to diphosphorus from the dissociation of photoexcited tetraphosphorus

We report a computational study of an energetically favorable pathway for the excited-state dissociation of a tetrahedral P[subscript 4] molecule into two P[subscript 2] molecules via the simultaneous breaking of four chemical bonds along a highly symmetric (D[subscript 2d]) reaction pathway. Along...
