反式-4-甲氧基偶氮苯超快激发态性质研究（英文）

本文利用飞秒瞬态吸收光谱结合量化计算研究了反式-4-甲氧基偶氮苯的超快激发态动力学和光异构过程,瞬态光谱中在400～480 nm波段出现永久的正吸收,表明反式分子被激发到第二激发态后最终产生了顺式结构.在乙醇和乙二醇溶剂环境中分别获得了三个衰减组分,时间分别为0.11、1.4、2.9 ps和0.16、1.5、7.5 ps.快速的时间组分是源自第二激发态弛豫到第一激发态的内转换过程.另外两个组分和第一激发态的弛豫相关:一个是经第一激发态的内转化和光异构过程,另一个是顺式结构的振动冷却过程.基于不同溶剂环境中的动力学差别,证实了光异构路径是反转机制而不是旋转机制.     

1-羟基蒽醌的分子内质子转移动力学

利用飞秒瞬态吸收光谱结合量化计算研究了1-羟基蒽醌在溶剂中的激发态分子内质子转移动力学. 分子受到400 nm光激发后的瞬态吸收谱呈现出激发态吸收和受激辐射两个光谱带. 受激辐射信号较激发态吸收信号滞后出现,由此确定质子转移时间是32 fs. 量化计算表明分子在沿质子转移路径衰变时,分子轨道和能级次序发生了反转,形成锥形交叉. 在质子转移之后,经锥形交叉布居的电子态发生内转换和分子间能量弛豫,时间分别是200 fs和16 ps. 基态回复时间是300 ps. 通过实验和理论研究,证实存在两个质子转移路径,其中主要的衰变路径保持了原来轨道的性质.

Time-resolved studies on the photoisomerization of a phenylene-silylene-vinylene type compound in its first singlet excited state

In femtosecond laser-flash photolysis experiments, the first singlet excited state of trans-ST, ((E,E)-{1,4-bis(2-dimethylphenylsilyl)ethenyl}benzene) showed a strong S1(π,π^?)-Sn absorption band at 540 nm in acetonitrile and at 550 nm in hexane. The lifetime of this state was determined to be 13.2±2.0 and 11.1±1.5 ps, respectively. Intersystem crossing was shown not to be a principal route for the deactivation of this S1 state of trans-ST. Evidence for this conclusion involved two complementary nanosecond laser-flash photolysis experiments. In one experiment involving direct excitation, no transient absorption spectrum was detected in the 350-650 nm spectral range. Yet, in the second experiment, on triplet sensitization, using xanthone, a transient absorption at 400 nm was tentatively assigned to the triplet state absorption of trans-ST. Photoisomerization was monitored in nanosecond time-resolved bleaching experiments. From these experiments the trans-cis photoisomerization quantum yield was determined to be 0.23 on direct trans-ST excitation. In a xanthone-sensitized stationary-state excitation experiment, the trans-cis isomerization quantum yield was determined to be 0.32. The main deactivation route of trans-ST in its S1 state is repopulation of the ground state directly through internal conversion or with the intermediacy of conformers with twisted geometry.     

Theory of Direct Photoisomerization of Stilbene

A microscopic model for describing the direct trans-cis photoisomerization of stilbene is developed and an interpretation of the experimental results found from time-resolved fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy of stilbene in solution is given. According to this model the photoisomerization of trans-stilbene is proposed to involve the radiationless transition from the trans singlet state S₁(trans), prepared by direct optical excitation, into the perp singlet state S₁ (perp) and the radiationless decay of this state into the quasi-isoenergetic trans triplet state T₄ (trans).     

N-乙基吡咯S1态超快动力学：飞秒时间分辨光电子成像研究

Ultrafast photoisomerization and its single-shot pump pulse efficiency of trans-azobenzene derivative: Compound for photosensitive DNA

The femtosecond photoisomerization processes of trans (T) 4-carboxy-2′,6′-dimethylazobenzen, which has been employed recently as an efficient photoregulator of DNA hybridization, were clarified by the rate equation analysis of measured transient absorbance changes with (350 nm) and without (380 nm) ground-state absorption of both the reactant (T) and photoproduct (cis: C) isomers under S₂^T-band excitation (360 nm, 150 fs pump): after excitation to the S₂^T state with a 450-fs lifetime, ~ 1.5% of the T-molecules in the S₂^T state are isomerized to the C-form within ~ 6 ps through the intermediate state (so called bottleneck state), but most of those return back to the T ground-state S₂^T via the internal conversion processes with an ultrafast kinetic rate of 2.2 × 10¹² s^? 1. Moreover, the rate equation analysis enables us to determine the T-to-C photoisomerization rate η^T,C per pump pulse to be 0.0011 at the pump energy of 80 nJ from the amplitude A_3,350 of the offset component in the 350-nm probe signal, and to obtain the photoisomerization quantum yield Φ^T,C = 0.094. The latter value is slightly lower than that of T-azobenzene, and well agrees with that (Φ^T,C = 0.097) measured by the conventional CW irradiation method using a photostationary state.     

Theoretical study on the isomerization mechanisms of phenylazopyridine on S0 and S1 states

In this work, some important structures tied closely to the isomerization of 2‐(phenylazo)pyridine (2‐PAPy) and 4‐(phenylazo)pyridine (4‐PAPy) on the S₀ and S₁ states were characterized in detail by using the complete active space SCF (CASSCF) theory. The isomerization mechanism was discussed on the basis of the mapped potential energy surfaces (PESs) and conical intersections (CIs). A comparison of PAPy with azobenzene was carried out to stress the effect of molecular structure on the photoisomerization details. The results indicate that the thermal isomerization for both 2‐PAPy and 4‐PAPy are mainly attributed to the inversion of CNN angle on the side of the pyridine ring. In view of the energy, an optimized CI_rot with a twisting structure supports the rotation mechanism in the photoisomerization of PAPy on the S₁ state. However, it was found that another conical intersection (CI_inv) with a planar structure is higher in energy than the corresponding trans‐FC structure, via which only the PAPy excited on S₂ state or vibrationally hot S₁ state can relax their excitation energy. Minimum energy paths (MEPs) showed that the relaxation process of cis‐PAPy being excited on the S₁ state is characterized by a smoothly falling curve, which is very similar to that of azobenzene. Furthermore, a S₁ minimum and a transition state (TS₁) were found to exist on the MEP starting from the trans‐FC point to the CI_rot for 4‐PAPy, but these two typical structures were not found on the MEP of 2‐PAPy. Compared with azobenzene, 4‐PAPy exhibits a very similar photoisomerization PES, but a subtly different one can be predicted in the case of 2‐PAPy. The present results are expected to provide useful information for the design of photoresponsive materials based on the PAPy units. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Ultrafast reaction dynamics of the complete photo cycle of an indolylfulgimide studied by absorption, fluorescence and vibrational spectroscopy

The reaction dynamics of the complete photo cycle, ring-opening (C → E) and ring-closure (E → C), of N-methyl-(6-bromo-1,2-dimethyl-3-indolyl)fulgimide dissolved in acetonitrile are analysed via steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopy using transient absorption in the UV/VIS and mid-IR complemented by ultrafast fluorescence broad-band spectroscopy with a Kerr-gate setup. For the C → E ring-opening reaction induced by light at ~ 550 nm, a time constant of ~ 3 ps was found for the S₁ decay and the S₀ repopulation. Non-exponential signatures, which occur in the 10 ps time domain, were observed and are assigned to the cooling of hot molecules in the electronic ground state. The E → C reaction dynamics induced by UV-light pulses at 360 nm and 387 nm occur within less than 1 ps and are followed by vibrational cooling on the 10 ps time domain. Thus, both ring-opening and ring-closure reactions are completed within a few picoseconds. From transient IR studies and fluorescence measurements it is concluded that these pericyclic reactions occur from different geometries on the excited state potential energy surface.     

Rotational reorientation dynamics of Rhodamine 700 in different excited states

The rotational reorientation dynamics of rhodamine 700 (LD700) in the first (S₁) and the fifth (S₅) excited state in three aprotic polar solvents have been investigated using femtosecond time-resolved stimulated emission pumping fluorescence depletion (FS TR SEP TD) spectroscopy. In both excited states, the overall rotational relaxation of LD700 occurs on a time scale of 40-230 ps depending on the solvent, and a quantitative analysis of this time constant has been performed using the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) hydrodynamic theory combined with the extended charge distribution model developed by Alavi and Waldeck. The experimentally measured reorientation times for LD700 in S₅ are smaller than those in S₁, which is in accord with the predictions by the SED theory. In addition, for LD700 in S₅, a rapid initial decrease on the time scale less than 0.5 ps has been found. According to our analysis, this fast component may account for the rapid internal conversion from S₅ to S₁, and the rate of internal conversion was found to be sensitive to the solvent polarity.
