Abstract

It is suggested that electronic excitation (or de-excitation) processes may be particularly efficient when accompanied by a chemical reaction. Even in the absence of a (static) crossing of potential energy surfaces, conditions favourable to an efficient non-adiabatic transition (i.e., large "Franck-Condon" factors) may occur as a result of the dynamic displacement of the reaction path.
