Abstract
We report the results of classical mechanics simulations of infrared multiphoton induced control of isomerization of FCN, ClCN, and BrCN in liquid Ar, using ab initio potential energy and dipole moment surfaces for the XCN molecules. The field induced isomerization and fragmentation dynamics of these molecules are found to be different from that of HCN in liquid Ar. In particular, the scheme that provides complete controlled conversion of HCN to CNH in liquid Ar fails to generate complete conversion of XCN to CNX in liquid Ar for X=F,Cl,Br. It is suggested that the sources of the differences in behavior arise from differences in the spectra of vibrational nonlinear resonances in HCN and XCN and to the occurrence of monodromy in the dynamics of the XCN molecules.
