Abstract
The flow of energy from highly excited CH overtones in benzene is investigated by quasiclassical trajectory methods for atomic motions restricted to the molecular plane. Various initial conditions and potential‐energy surfaces (harmonic and anharmonic) are examined. The results are in accord with the rapid energy transfer rates observed in experiments. Comparisons are made with other theoretical studies.
