  • <p>The electronic quenching of NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>) with molecular partners occurs through complex non-adiabatic dynamics that occurs on multiple coupled potential energy surfaces. Moreover, the propensity for NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>) electronic quenching depends heavily on the strength and nature of the intermolecular interactions between NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>) and the molecular partner. In this thesis, we explore the electronic quenching mechanisms of four systems: NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CH<sub>4</sub>, NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CH<sub>3</sub>OH, NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CO<sub>2</sub>, and NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>. Using EOM-EA-CCSD calculations, we rationalize the very low electronic quenching cross-section of NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CH<sub>4 </sub>as well as the outcomes observed in previous NO+CH<sub>4</sub>photodissociation studies. Our analysis of NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CH<sub>3</sub>OH suggests that it will undergo facile electronic quenching mediated by reducing the intermolecular distance and significantly stretching the O-H bond of CH<sub>3</sub>OH. For NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CO<sub>2 </sub>and NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>, intermolecular attractions lead to a series of low-energy ON-OCO or ON-C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub>conformations in which the CO<sub>2</sub> or the C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2</sub> is significantly bent. For the NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CH<sub>3</sub>OH, NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+CO<sub>2</sub>, and NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>2 </sub>systems, we see evidence of the harpoon mechanism and low-energy conical intersections between NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+M and NO (<em>X</em><sup>2</sup>Π)+M. Overall, this work provides the first detailed theoretical study on the NO (<em>A</em><sup>2</sup>Σ<sup>+</sup>)+M potential energy surface of each of these systems.</p>
