Which consequence results when solvent exposure alters an orbital's symmetry?

A)Reduced catalytic reaction selectivity
B)Increased excited-state vibrational relaxation
C)Enhanced electron-phonon coupling effect
D)Decreased non-radiative energy dissipation

💡 Explanation

Reduced catalytic reaction selectivity ensues because *orbital distortion* alters the electronic environment, therefore preventing selective substrate binding to the catalytic site; rather than enhanced coupling, distortion impedes optimal alignment.
