The electronic structures of phenylacetylene (PA) in S0, S1, and S2 have been examined by means of ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and the second-order multi-reference Moller−Plesset (MRMP2) calculations. The stable structures of PA in both S0 and S1 are optimized to be C2v. The stable structure in S1 is characterized as an enlarged benzene ring, which is caused by local π−π* excitation within the benzene ring. On the other hand, the S2 geometry is optimized to be a quinoid structure where the aromaticity of the benzene ring is completely lost. To discuss the internal conversion from S2 into S1, the conical intersection between S2 and S1 (S2/S1-CIX) has been also determined. The S2/S1-CIX is characterized as a quinoid structure in the benzene part and allene-like in the acetylene part. The present computational result well reproduces the experimental findings, such as the rotational constant and the feature of the absorption spectrum.
