Abstract
The “completeness” and “accuracy” of first principle based Beyond Born-Oppenheimer (BBO) theory is reviewed with its theoretical developments and wide applications on various realistic spectroscopic systems, scattering processes and pervoskite molecules exhibiting phase transition phenomena. Over the last two decades, our group has formulated as well as implemented the BBO treatment to construct diabatic Hamiltonian for several spectroscopically interesting molecules (NO2 radical, Na3 and K3 clusters, NO3,

Such diabatic Hamiltonians have been further used to perform quantum dynamical calculations to obtain observables (photoelectron spectra for spectroscopic/solid state systems and cross-sections/rate constants for scattering processes), which show excellent agreement with the recent experimental findings. In summary, this article provides the current perspective of BBO approach as well as Jahn-Teller (JT) theory with various applications on molecular systems/chemical processes.
