title: Is Se-Se bond cleavage the most favourable process in electron attachment to diselenides? The importance of asymmetry.
abstract: Accurate ab initio calculations reveal that, in contrast with what has been commonly assumed up to now, electron attachment to diselenides does not always result in a Se-Se bond fission and, in general, the mechanism behind the bond fission may involve the crossing of several states.
