Abstract

A method is described for an ab-initio Cl calculation of the decay of H2CO(1A2). The normal modes 4, 5 and 6 turn out to be about equally important for inducing the radiative transition, while the non-radiative decay is an example of the resonance case. So the experimentally determined exponential decay must be due to a coupling with the dissociative continuum.
