Photochemistry of the Water Molecule: Adiabatic versus Nonadiabatic Dynamics

TL;DR: The most recent developments in water photodissociation that have been derived from the study of the four lowest electronic excited states are presented, demonstrating the truly fascinating nature of water photochemistry, which is extremely variable because of the different electronic states and their interactions.
