Ab initio molecular dynamics approach has been extended to multi-state dynamics on the basis of the spin-orbit coupled electronic states that are obtained through diagonalization of the spin-orbit coupling matrix with the multi-state second-order multireference perturbation theory energies in diagonal elements and the spin-orbit coupling terms at the state-averaged complete active space self-consistent field level in off-diagonal elements. Nonadiabatic transitions over the spin-orbit coupled states were taken into account explicitly by a surface hopping scheme with utilizing the nonadiabatic coupling terms calculated by numerical differentiation of the spin-orbit coupled wavefunctions and analytical nonadiabatic coupling terms. The present method was applied to the A-band photodissociation of methyl iodide, CH3 I + hv → CH3 + I (2 P3/2 )/I* (2 P1/2 ), for which a pioneering theoretical work was reported by Amatatsu, Yabushita, and Morokuma. The present results reproduced well the experimental branching ratio and energy distributions in the dissociative products. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
