Chemiluminescence in 1,2-dioxetane occurs through a thermally activated decomposition reaction into two formaldehyde molecules. Both ground-state and nonadiabatic dynamics (including singlet excited states) of the decomposition reaction have been simulated, starting from the first O-O bond-breaking transition structure. The ground-state dissociation occurs between t = 30 fs and t = 140 fs. The so-called entropic trap leads to frustrated dissociations, postponing the decomposition reaction. Specific geometrical conditions are necessary for the trajectories to escape from the entropic trap and for dissociation to be possible. The singlet excited states participate as well in the trapping of the molecule: dissociation including the nonadiabatic transitions to singlet excited states now occurs from t = 30 fs to t = 250 fs and later. Specific regions of the seam of the S0/S1 conical intersections that would "retain" the molecule for longer on the excited state have been identified.
