To understand the full complexity of energy transfer within molecules and apply it to cutting edge research, also more special, but also important processes need to be understood. Especially vibronic (those involving vibration to store energy), nonadiabatic and diabatic couplings and radiationless processes need to be considered. A book is needed covering these in context with one another. This work fills this gap with the necessary mathematical rigor.
