Effect of Initial Orientation on the Laser-Induced Cycloaddition Reaction of Benzene and Ethylene

Figure 3

Snapshots taken from the simulation of asynchronous cycloaddition mode of stacked benzene and ethylene molecules at (a) 0, (b) 600, (c) 655, (d) 925, (e) 1615, and (f) 1715 fs. The benzene molecule is subjected to the irradiation of a 25 fs (fwhm) laser pulse with a fluence of 94.11 Jm⁻² and photon energy of 4.7 eV.

(a) t = 0 fs

(b) t = 600 fs

(c) t = 655 fs

(d) t = 925 fs

(e) t = 1615 fs

(f) t = 1715 fs
