Bibliographic record
Abstract
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are synthetic compounds that have been very used in refrigeration systems, due to their great chemical stability. Nowadays, these compounds are known because they have an important contribution to reducing the concentration of stratospheric ozone. Although the use of CFCs was limited by the Montreal Protocol, the presence of these molecules in the atmosphere is a secular concern, in other words, they will react for a long time in atmosphere. Based on these facts, the importance of this work relies on the need for a better understanding of the photodissociative processes involving these compounds in atmosphere. Dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2), also known as CFC-12, was chosen in this study because it is one of the most abundant CFCs and it has a long-term life around 112 years. In addition, it has a high ozone depletion potential. Although the electronic structure of the molecule has been previously investigated, some mechanisms are still not understood. Therefore, the objective of this research was to investigate how properties of 25 excited singles states of valence and Rydberg, through calculations of electronic structure, as well as a photodissociation of the molecule, from the characterization of the Potential Energy Curves (PEC). For this, computational tools were used, such as the highly correlated methods MCSCF (CASSCF) and MR-CISD/MR-CISD+Q, performed with the COLUMBUS 7.0 program. An experimental geometry was used as a starting point for the calculations. The CAS (12.8) and CAS (12.12) active spaces were used, and the aug-cc-pVDZ and d-aug-ccpVDZ base sets. The results showed the importance of Rydberg states for this system because the inclusion of these states provided a better characterization of electronic transitions. The MR-CISD method, with the MR-CISD+Q extensibility correction, provided better results for the investigated states. The theoretical results obtained for the values of the vertical energies of the valence states were in good agreement with that observed experimentally. PEC revealed the existence of a local dissociative minimum in the 31A' state curve that favors the formation of the CF2Cl+ (11A') + Cl- (1S) ion channel, based on non-adiabatic events. Optimization and frequency calculations confirmed the structure of the [CF2Cl]+ Cl- pair, with a stability of 3.64 eV. It was possible to conclude that the study achieved the objectives proposed in its initial planning. It is hoped that this research will enable a better understanding of the photochemistry of the CF2Cl2 molecule.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
