A combination of a semiempirical MO calculation and a limited configuration interaction calculation has been used successfully for the prediction of photoproducts as a function of the excited state of the reactant. As example, the α‐cleavage of formaldehyde was investigated. The potential hypersurfaces of the S 0 S a and T a states for planar formaldehyde were calculated as functions of the CH 1 distance and of the H 2 CO angle.
