Sunlight is a renewable energy source that can be stored in chemical bonds using photochemical reactions. The synthesis of exotic and strained molecules is especially attractive with photochemical techniques because of the associated efficient and mild reaction conditions. We have understood the photophysics and subsequent photochemistry of a possible cubane precursor, tricyclo[4,2,0,0(2,5)]octa-3,7-diene with complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations with an (8,7) active space and the ANO-S-VDZP basis set to. The CASSCF energies were corrected with a second-order perturbative correction CASPT2(8,7)/ANO-S-VDZP. The S-0 -> S-1 vertical excitation energy of 1 is 6.25 eV, which is a pi -> pi* excitation. The minimum energy path from the S-1 Franck-Condon point leads to a 4 pi-disrotatory electrocyclic ring-opening reaction to afford bicyclo[4,2,0]octa-2,4,7-triene. The 2D potential energy surface scan located a rhomboidal S-1/S-0 minimum energy crossing point connecting 1 and cubane, suggesting that a cycloaddition is theoretically possible. We used the fewest switches surface hopping to study the photodynamics of this cycloaddition: 85% of 1722 trajectories relaxed to eight products; the major products are bicyclo[4,2,0]octa-2,4,7-triene (30%) and cycloocta-1,3,5,7-tetraene (32%). Only 0.4% of trajectories undergo a [2 + 2] cycloaddition to form cubane.
