Abstract

The main concepts of the nature of electronically excited states in polyatomic molecules and the intramolecular and intermolecular processes of their evolution are reported. The dependence of the probabilities of these processes on the electronic structure of the molecule is considered. Possible mechanisms of the dissociation of electronically excited molecules with bond cleavage are discussed, and the theoretical results of this consideration are given. The experimental data obtained by the authors are interpreted. In this case, attention is focused on C-H-bond photodissociation processes in a condensed phase, which are the best studied processes. The dissociation of other bonds is briefly discussed.
