27. According to the results outlined in Figure 2, funneling through 82/80 CI (i.e., CI-A and CI-B) leads to two different reaction paths on the ground-state surface, via either the derivative coupling vector or the gradient difference vector. For instance, the gradient difference vector for CI-A corresponds to an antisymmetric bending motion, which may lead to a vibrationally hot species at the So configuration. On the other hand, its derivative coupling vector corresponds to the intramolecular formation of a Dewar pyridine, 2. Besides these, again, the derivative coupling vector for Cl-B can lead to the isomer 3, whereas its gradient difference vector may result in a vibrationally hot species at the So configuration.
28. 2/ So CI (i.e., CI-C and CI-D) leads to two different reaction paths on the ground-state surface, via either the derivative coupling vector or the gradient difference vector. For example, the gradient difference vector for CI-C can lead to a vibrationally hot species at the So configuration, whereas its derivative coupling vector can result in an isomer, 5. Likewise, the same situation can also be found in the left-hand side of Figure 4; that is, the gradient difference vector for CI-D can result in a vibrationally hot species at the So configuration, and its derivative coupling vector can lead to an isomer, 6.

30. 0 CI (i.e., CI-E and CI-F) leads to two different reaction paths on the ground-state surface, via either the derivative coupling vector or the gradient difference vector. The derivative coupling vector for CI-E can lead to a vibrationally hot species at the So configuration. However, its gradient difference vector can result in a Dewar isomer, 8. Similarly, the gradient difference vector for CI-F can lead to vibrationally hot species at the So configuration, and its derivative coupling vector can lead to an isomer, 9.
