Abstract
We propose and test an extension of the energy-grained master equation (EGME) for treating nonadiabatic (NA) hopping between different potential energy surfaces, which enables us to model the competition between stepwise collisional relaxation and kinetic processes which transfer population between different electronic states of the same spin symmetry. By incorporating Zhu-Nakamura theory into the EGME, we are able to treat NA passages beyond the simple Landau-Zener approximation, along with the corresponding treatments of zero-point energy and tunneling probability. To evaluate the performance of this NA-EGME approach, we carried out detailed studies of the UV photodynamics of the volatile organic compound C6-hydroperoxy aldehyde (C6-HPALD) using on-the-fly ab initio molecular dynamics and trajectory surface hopping. For this multichromophore molecule, we show that the EGME is able to capture important aspects of the dynamics, including kinetic timescales, and diabatic trapping. Such an approach provides a promising and efficient strategy for treating the long-time dynamics of photoexcited molecules in regimes which are difficult to capture using atomistic on-the-fly molecular dynamics.

Abstract
Ligand binding by proteins is among the most fundamental processes in nature. Among these processes the binding of small gas molecules, such as O2 , CO and NO to heme proteins has traditionally received vivid interest, which was further boosted by their recently recognized significant role in gas sensing in the body. At the heart of the binding of these ligands to the heme group is the spinforbidden reaction between high-spin iron(II) and the ligand yielding a low-spin adduct. We use computational means to address the complete mechanism of CO and NO binding by myoglobin. Considering that it involves several steps occurring on different time scales, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to address the diffusion of the ligand through the enzyme, and DFT calculations in combination with statistical rate calculation to investigate the spin-forbidden reaction. The calculations yielded rate constants in qualitative agreement with experiments and revealed that the bottleneck of NO and CO binding is different; for NO, diffusion was found to be rate-limiting, whereas for CO, the spin-forbidden step is the slowest.

Abstract
Perfluorocyclobutyl polymers are thermally and chemically stable, may be produced without a catalyst via thermal 2π-2π cycloaddition, and can form block structures, making them suitable for commercialization of specialty polymers. Thermal 2π-2π cycloaddition is a rare reaction that begins in the singlet state and proceeds through a triplet intermediate to form an energetically stable four-membered ring in the singlet state. This reaction involves two changes in spin state and, thus, two spin-crossover transitions. Presented here are density functional theory calculations that evaluate the energetics and reaction mechanisms for the dimerizations of two different polyfluorinated precursors, 1,1,2-trifluoro-2-(trifluoromethoxy)ethane and hexafluoropropylene. The spin-crossover transition states are thoroughly investigated, revealing important kinetics steps and an activation energy for the gas-phase cycloaddition of two hexafluoropropene molecules of 36.9 kcal/mol, which is in good agreement with the experimentally determined value of 34.3 kcal/mol. It is found that the first carbon-carbon bond formation is the rate-limiting step, followed by a rotation about the newly formed bond in the triplet state that results in the formation of the second carbon-carbon bond. Targeting the rotation of the C-C bond, a set of parameters were obtained that best produce high molecular weight polymers using this chemistry.
