Abstract
We use accurate ab initio methodologies at the coupled cluster level ((R)CCSD(T)) and its explicitly correlated version ((R)CCSD(T)-F12) to investigate the electronic structure, relative stability, and spectroscopy of the stable isomers of the [S2O2] system and of some of its cations and dications, with a special focus on the most relevant isomers that could be involved in terrestrial and planetary atmospheres. This work identifies several stable isomers (10 neutral, 8 cationic, and 5 dicationic), including trigonal-OSSO, cis-OSSO, and cyc-OSSO. For all these isomers, we calculated geometric parameters, fragmentation energies, and simple and double ionization energies of the neutral species. Several structures are identified for the first time, especially for the ionic species. Computations show that in addition to cis-OSSO and trans-OSSO proposed for the absorption in the near-UV spectrum of the Venusian atmosphere other S2O2, S2O2+, and S2O22+ species may contribute. Moreover, the characterization of the stability of singly and doubly charged S2O2 entities can also be used for their identification by mass spectrometry and UV spectroscopy in the laboratory or in planetary atmospheres. In sum, the quest for the main UV absorber in Venus' atmosphere is not over, since the physical chemistry of sulfur oxides in Venus' atmosphere is far from being understood.

Abstract
Using configuration interaction ab initio methods, we investigate the lowest electronic states of doublet and quartet spin multiplicities of SSNO where the one-dimensional cuts of the six-dimensional potential energy surfaces of these electronic states along the stretching and bending coordinates are computed. Mainly, these electronic states are found to be repulsive along the central SN distance. A high density of electronic states is computed even at low excitation energies that may favor their couplings. Therefore, the dynamics of the SSNO electronic states is expected to be very complex. We also characterized the bound electronic states spectroscopically where we derived their equilibrium structures and vibrational frequencies. Our calculations show the importance of taking into account of dynamical correlation, in addition to static correlation, for the accurate description of SSNO electronic excited states and more generally for those of R-NO molecular species. Finally, we highlighted the potential role of SSNO in light-induced NO delivery from SSNO related species in biological media.

Abstract
Results are presented that suggest that thiazyl hydride (HSN)/thionitrosyl hydride (sulfimide, HNS) can be used as light-sensitive compounds for NO-delivery in biological media, as well as markers for the possible detection of intermediates in nitrites + H2S reactions at the cellular level. They are expected to be more efficient than the HNO/HON isovalent species and hence they should be considered instead. A set of characteristic spectroscopic features are identified that could aid in the possible detection of these species in the gas phase or in biological environments. The possibility of intramolecular dynamical processes involving excited states that are capable of interconverting HNS and its isomeric form HSN is examined.

Abstract
We studied the single-photon ionization of gas-phase δ-valerolactam (piperidin-2-one) and of its dimer using vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation coupled to a velocity map imaging electron/ion coincidence spectrometer. The slow photoelectron spectrum (SPES) of the monomer is dominated by the vibrational transitions to the ͠X state. Moreover, several weaker and complex bands are observed, corresponding to the population of the vibrational bands (pure or combination) of the electronically excited states of the cation arising from their mutual vibronic interactions. For the dimer, we measure a unique large band. These spectra are assigned with the help of theoretical calculations dealing with the equilibrium geometries, electronic-state patterns and evolutions, harmonic and anharmonic wavenumbers of the monomer and dimer, either neutral or positively charged. The state energies of the [δ-valerolactam](+) cation in the ͠X ground, ͠A, ͠B, ͠C, excited electronic states, and of the [δ-valerolactam](2) (+) cation's lowest states are determined. After its formation, [δ-valerolactam](2) (+) is subject to intramolecular isomerization, H transfer and then unimolecular fragmentation processes. Close to the ionization thresholds, the photoionization of these molecules is found to be mainly dominated by a direct process whereas the indirect route (autoionization) contributes at higher energies.

Abstract
We performed ab initio calculations to investigate the lowest triplet and singlet electronic states of the NO dimer and their mutual spin-orbit couplings. The electronic structure calculations are done using multiconfigurational approaches and a large diffuse basis set. A high density of electronic states is found favoring their mutual interactions by vibronic and spin-orbit couplings. We used our potential curves and spin-orbit couplings to discuss the mechanisms for the IR dissociation and the UV photodissociation of the NO dimer and the electronic de-excitation of NO (A(2)Sigma(+)) after collision with NO (X(2)Pi). For these reactions, multistep pathways, which involve the long-range and the molecular regions of the potential energy surfaces of the triplet and singlet electronic states of N(2)O(2), are suggested. A qualitative agreement between our findings and previous experimental assumptions is found.
