Abstract
Ozone is one of the important molecules in terms of the impact on the atmospheric chemistry, climate changes, bio- and eco-systems and human health. It has a strong absorption in the microwave, terahertz and far-infrared spectral ranges where a large part of the Earth's outgoing longwave radiation to space is located. In this work, the observations, and analyses of the ozone high-resolution spectra in the THz range recorded using the Synchrotron light source of the SOLEIL CNRS equipment are reported for the first time. Thanks to the exceptional brightness of the Synchrotron radiation and to the signal/noise ratio, it was possible to observe many more ozone transitions of the cold rotational band and the hot ν2-ν2 band in the range 0.9-6 THz compared to the previous works. In addition, we have carried out new measurements and assignments for the ν2 band. The simultaneous fit of the rotational band GS-GS, the hot band ν2-ν2 and the FIR ν2 band yielded an overall weighted standard deviation of 0.68 for 13,466 line positions within the experimental accuracy. This includes all previously available MW (with the best uncertainty 0.1 - 10 kHz), FIR data and the original SOLEIL measurements that provided experimental accuracy of 0.00005 - 0.0001 cm-1 for the best lines. Significant deviations in new experimental spectra compared to available spectroscopic databases were evidenced, particularly for the line positions and energy levels at high J, Ka rotational quantum numbers that are the most pronounced in the 4.5 - 6 THz range. Accurate ab initio calculations of line intensities combined with empirically fitted line positions were used to create new linelists that permit theoretical modelling of the transmittance in a good agreement with the Synchrotron spectra in the entire range of observations for various pressures and optical paths. The region near 100 cm-1 and above appears to be more sensitive to the temperature conditions that should be considered in atmospheric observation for the currently operational and future ground based and space missions.

Abstract
Recent advances in constructing accurate potential energy surfaces and nonadiabatic couplings from high-level ab initio data have revealed detailed potential landscapes in not only the ground electronic state but also excited ones. They enabled quantitatively accurate characterization of photoexcited reactive systems using quantum mechanical methods. In this Perspective, we survey the recent progress in quantum mechanical studies of adiabatic and nonadiabatic photodissociation dynamics, focusing on initial state control and product energy disposal. These new insights helped to understand quantum effects in small prototypical systems, and the results serve as benchmarks for developing more approximate theoretical methods.

Abstract
We report REMPI spectra and velocity-mapped ion images of the O2(a1Δg) and (b1Σg+) fragments arising from the spin-forbidden photodissociation of O3 near 320 and 330 nm. The O2(a1Δg, v = 0) REMPI spectrum following a 320 nm dissociation shows enhanced peak intensity for the odd rotational states relative to the even states, which is the opposite of the trend observed by Gunthardt et al. ( J. Chem. Phys. 2019, 151, 224302) for spin-allowed dissociation at 266 nm but is consistent with the couplings between the B state and 3A' and 3A″ states calculated by Grebenshchikov and Rosenwaks ( J. Phys. Chem. A 2010, 114, 9809-9819). There are no significant differences between the ion image angular distributions of fragments in odd and even rotational states, which indicates a cold distribution of O3 and supports the explanation that the alternation in peak intensities results from a difference in the couplings. Quantitative analysis of the image angular distributions was limited due to the single laser polarization geometry accessible in one-color experiments. Radial distributions of the 320 nm images indicate a broad rotational distribution, evidenced in bimodal speed distributions with peaks corresponding to both high (j = 35-43) and low (j = 17-20) rotational states. The REMPI spectrum of O2(a1Δg) near 330 nm was collected, and while quantitative population analysis is difficult because of the perturbed resonant state, the spectrum clearly supports a broad rotational distribution as well, consistent with the images collected at 320 nm. A 2D-REMPI spectrum was collected following dissociation of O3 near 330 nm, which showed evidence of contributions from O2 fragments in both the a1Δg and b1Σg+ states. The rotational distribution for the O2(b1Σg+, v = 0) product peaks at j = 32 and is narrower than that of the O2(a1Δg) fragment, consistent with distributions reported by O'Keeffe et al. at longer dissociation wavelengths ( J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 117, 8705-8709). At smaller radii in the 2D-REMPI spectrum, there is additional signal assigned to v = 1-4 of O2(b1Σg+), with rotational distributions similar to v = 0. The vibrational distribution of the O2(b1Σg+) fragment peaks at v = 0, with populations monotonically decreasing with increasing vibrational state. Ion image angular distributions of the O2(b1Σg+) fragment and the corresponding anisotropy parameters are also reported.

Abstract
We report the rotational state distribution and vector correlations of the O2(a 1Δg, v = 0) fragments arising from the 226 nm photodissociation of jet-cooled O3. Consistent with previously reported trends, the rotational distribution is shifted to higher rotational states with decreasing wavelength. We observe highly suppressed odd rotational state populations due to a strong Λ-doublet propensity. The measured rotational distribution is in agreement with classical trajectory calculations for the v = 0 products, although the distribution is slightly narrower than predicted. The spatial anisotropy follows the previously observed trend of decreasing β with increasing photon energy with β = 0.72 ± 0.14 for v = 0, j = 38. As expected for a triatomic molecule, the v-j correlation is consistent with v perpendicular to j, but the measured correlation is nonlimiting due, in part, to rotational and translational depolarization. The j-dependent line width of the O2(a 1Δg) REMPI spectrum is also discussed in connection with the lifetime of the resonant O2(d 1Πg) state due to predissociation via the II 1Πg valence state.

Abstract
By examining the product-state distribution of a prototypical nonadiabatic predissociation system, HCO(Ã2A″-X̃2A'), we demonstrate that the dissociation dynamics is strongly modulated by parent rotational quantum numbers. The predissociation of the nominal (νC-H = 0, νbend, νC-O = 1) vibronic levels of the Ã2A″ state surprisingly gives rise to both vibrational ground and excited states of the CO product, despite the assumed spectator nature of the CO moiety. This anomaly is attributed to the dependence of the lifetime of the vibronic resonance facilitated by the Renner-Teller interaction on the parent rotational angular momentum quantum numbers coupled with transient intensity borrowing from nearby vibronic resonances with νC-O = 0. This unique phenomenon is a purely quantum mechanical behavior that has no classical analogue.

Abstract
A full-dimensional rigorous quantum mechanical treatment of non-reactive inelastic scattering of an open-shell diatom [e.g., NO(2Π)] with a structureless and spinless atom is presented within the time-independent close-coupling framework. The inclusion of the diatomic vibrational degree of freedom allows the investigation of transitions between different vibrational manifolds, in addition to those between different rotational, spin-orbit, and Λ-doublet states. This method is applied to the scattering of vibrationally excited NO(2Π) with Ar and H (with its spin ignored). The former has negligible vibrational inelasticity, thanks to the weak interaction between the two collisional partners. This conclusion justifies the commonly used two-dimensional approximation in treating NO scattering with rare gas atoms. The latter, on the other hand, is shown to undergo significant vibrational relaxation, even in the ultra-cold regime, owing to a chemically bonded (HNO) complex on the lowest-lying singlet potential energy surfaces.
