Abstract
Ab initio molecular dynamics at the RHF/3-21G level have been performed to study interconversion pathways (bond rotation and ring inversion) of the protonated β-ionone Schiff base. Starting with different stationary points on the Born - Oppenheimer potential energy surface, the trajectories are followed for 2100 fs. A perfunctory analysis of the reaction pathways reveals a dynamical behavior in agreement with classical expectations.
