A simple approach to attosecond electronic chirality flips using triatomic molecules

Abstract

Electronic chirality flips in achiral molecules is a hot topic in attosecond and femtosecond chemistry and physics. Our quantum dynamics simulations show that this effect can be induced by a simple Franck–Condon excitation of the A′ + A″ superposition of the electronic A′ ground state plus the first excited A″ state in the oriented bent triatomic heteronuclear molecule NSF.
