(a) Potential energy surface of I2 in CCl4. Low-lying electronic states (X, A/A′, B and 1πu) of I2. The states A and A′ are closely spaced and can be viewed as a single electronic state A/A′. The processes α and β represent geminate recombination of two I atoms in the X and A/A′ states, respectively. The process γ represents nongeminate recombination through the solvent. Schematic snapshots of solute-solvent configuration at representative stages are depicted. (b) MD snapshot of I2 in CCl4. Purple sphere is iodine atom, grey rod is carbon atom, and green is chloride atom. (c) MD snapshot of I2 in cyclohexane. Purple sphere is iodine atom, and grey rod is carbon atom.
