有机分子聚集体中振动分辨光谱的激子耦合效应

光谱是探究分子间相互作用及发光机理的有效手段.本工作采用Frenkel激子模型和量子力学/分子力学（QM/MM）方法系统研究了一系列聚集诱导发光（AIE）体系和传统荧光（非AIE）体系晶态下的吸收、发射光谱.结果表明,分子内电声子耦合（λ）与分子间激子耦合（J）竞争决定了晶态聚集体的光谱特性.在室温下,当J/λ值大于约0.17时,有机分子聚集体光谱的激子耦合效应将表现明显.例如,对于面对面排列的H聚集体,只有考虑激子耦合效应的理论计算光谱才与其实验光谱吻合很好,即相较于单分子光谱的吸收蓝移、发射减弱并红移.对于AIE体系,因为其J/λ值均小于0.17,AIE聚集体光谱特征主要是由分子内电声子耦合所主导,激子耦合可以忽略不计.

Primary processes in plant photosynthesis: photosystem I reaction center

The photosystem I (PSI) pigment-protein complex of plants converts light energy into a transmembrane charge separation, which ultimately leads to the reduction of carbon dioxide. Recent studies on the dynamics of primary energy transfer, charge separation, and following electron transfer of the reaction center (RC) of the PSI prepared from spinach are reviewed. The main results of femtosecond transient absorption and fluorescence spectroscopies as applied to the P700-enchied PSI RC are summarized. This specially prepared material contains only 12–14 chlorophylls per P700, which is a special pair of chlorophyll a and has a significant role in primary charge separation. The P700-enriched particles are useful to study dynamics of cofactors, since about 100 light-harvesting chlorophylls are associated with wild PSI RC and prevent one from observing the elementary steps of the charge separation. In PSI RC energy and electron transfer were found to be strongly coupled and an ultrafast up-hill energy equilibration and charge separation were observed upon preferential excitation of P700. The secondary electron-transfer dynamics from the reduced primary electron acceptor chlorophyll a to quinone are described. With creating free energy differences (ΔG₀) for the reaction by reconstituting various artificial quinones and quinoids, the rate of electron transfer was measured. Analysis of rates versus ΔG₀ according to the quantum theory of electron transfer gave the reorganization energy, electronic coupling energy and other factors. It was shown that the natural quinones are optimized in the photosynthetic protein complexes. The above results were compared with those of photosynthetic purple bacteria, of which the structure and functions have been studied most.     

Exciton Migration in Conjugated Dendrimers: A Joint Experimental and Theoretical Study

We report a joint experimental and theoretical investigation of exciton diffusion in phenyl‐cored thiophene dendrimers. Experimental exciton diffusion lengths of the dendrimers vary between 8 and 17 nm, increasing with the size of the dendrimer. A theoretical methodology is developed to estimate exciton diffusion lengths for conjugated small molecules in a simulated amorphous film. The theoretical approach exploits Fermi’s Golden Rule to estimate the energy transfer rates for a large ensemble of bimolecular complexes in random relative orientations. Utilization of Poisson’s equation in the evaluation of the Coulomb integral leads to very efficient calculation of excitonic couplings between the donor and the acceptor chromophores. Electronic coupling calculations with delocalized transition densities revealed efficient coupling pathways in the bulk of the material, but do not result in strong couplings between the chromophores which are calculated for more localized transition densities. The molecular structures of dendrimers seem to be playing a significant role in the magnitude of electronic coupling between chromophores. Simulated diffusion lengths correlate well with the experimental data. The chemical structure of the chromophore, the shape of the transition densities and the exciton lifetime are found to be the most important factors in determining the size of the exciton diffusion length in amorphous films of conjugated materials.     

Excitonic states in photosystem II reaction center

The excited states of a structurally well-determined photosystem II (PSII) reaction center are obtained using an effective Hamiltonian for the interaction between the Q(y) states. The latter are calculated using the time-dependent density functional theory (DFT) method in DFT-optimized geometries, but with conserved side group orientations. Of particular importance is the orientation of the vinyl group of ring I. Couplings are calculated using actual transition charge distributions via the INDO/S model. Good agreement with experimental spectra is obtained. The lowest excited state is mainly located on the inactive B-side, but with a large component on P(A) too, making charge separation to H(A) possible at low temperature. The "trap state" and triplet state are localized on the inactive B-side. Since the spin singlet Q(y) states of the reaction center are all within a rather small energy range, the state with the highest component of B(A)*, on the blue side of the Q(y) absorption, has a rather high Boltzmann population at room temperature. The charge-transfer states, however, have a rather large spread and cannot be calculated accurately at present. The orientation of the phytyl chains is important and has as a consequence that the energy for the charge-separated B(A)+ H(A)- state is significantly lower than the corresponding state on the B-side. It follows that the B(A)* and P(A)* states are both possible origins for a fast charge separation in PSII.     

A two‐state reactivity rationale for the reaction of ta atom with acetonitrile in the gas phase

The spin‐forbidden reaction mechanism of Ta (⁴F, 5d³6s²) with CH₃CN, on two different potential surfaces (PESs) has been investigated at the B3LYP, MP2, and CCSD level of theory. Crossing points between the PESs are located using different methods, and possible spin inversion processes are discussed by means of spin‐orbit coupling calculations. As a result, the reaction system will change its spin multiplicities near this crossing seam, leading to a significant decrease in the barrier of ^2‐4TS3 from 24.17 to 5.36 kcal/mol, which makes the reaction access to a lower energy pathway and accelerate the reaction rate. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Light-induced charge separation across the photosynthetic membrane: a proposed structure for the photosystem I reaction center

The photosystem I reaction center is reviewed from the standpoint of electron acceptors, polypeptide composition, and structural organization. Experimental difficulties in the current model are highlighted, and current results on the polypeptide location of each acceptor are reviewed. The amount of iron and labile sulfide, the types of iron-sulfur clusters, and the number of ∼ 64-kDa polypeptides are considered in light of a model for the reaction center. In particular, the presence of [2Fe-2S] clusters in photosystem I has significance in the structure and organization of F_x on the reaction center. Since four cysteinyl ligands are assumed to hold an iron-sulfur cluster, a photosystem I subunit may consist of two ∼ 64-kDa polypeptides bridged by a [2Fe-2S] cluster. The reaction center would consist of a symmetrical pair of these subunits positioned so that two [2Fe-2S] clusters are in magnetic interaction, thereby constituting F_x. The reaction center core would therefore incorporate four ∼ 64-kDa polypeptides and have a molecular weight in excess of 250 kDa     

About the calculation of exchange coupling constants in polynuclear transition metal complexes

The application of theoretical methods based on the density functional theory with hybrid functionals provides good estimates of the exchange coupling constants for polynuclear transition metal complexes. The accuracy is similar to that previously obtained for dinuclear compounds. We present test calculations on simple model systems based on H. He and CH(2). He units to compare with Hartree-Fock and multiconfigurational results. Calculations for complete, nonmodeled polynuclear transition metal complexes yield coupling constants in very good agreement with available experimental data.     

Electron transfer reactions of redox cofactors in spinach photosystem I reaction center protein in lipid films on electrodes

Thin film voltammetry was used to obtain direct, reversible, electron transfer between electrodes and spinach Photosystem I reaction center (PS I) in lipid films for the first time. This reaction center (RC) protein retains its native conformation in the films, and AFM showed that film structure rearranges during the first several minutes of rehydration of the film. Two well-defined chemically reversible reduction-oxidation peaks were observed for native PS I in the dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine films, and were assigned to phylloquinone, A(1) (E(m) = -0.54 V) and iron-sulfur clusters, F(A)/F(B) (E(m) = -0.19 V) by comparisons with PS I samples selectively depleted of these cofactors. Observed E(m) values may be influenced by protein-lipid interactions and electrode double-layer effects. Voltammetry was consistent with simple kinetically limited electron transfers, and analysis of reduction-oxidation peak separations gave electrochemical rate constants of 7.2 s(-)(1) for A(1) and 65 s(-)(1) for F(A)/F(B). A catalytic process was observed in which electrons were injected from PS I in films to ferredoxin in solution, mimicking in vivo electron shuttle from the terminal F(A)/F(B) cofactors to soluble ferredoxin during photosynthesis.     

Theoretical study of spin-orbit coupling and intersystem crossing in the two-state reaction between Nb(NH2)3 and N2O

The two-state mechanism of the reaction of Nb(NH2)3 with N2O on the singlet and triplet potential energy surfaces has been investigated at the B3LYP level.Crossing points between the potential energy surfaces have been located using different methods.Analysis of the strain model shows that the singlet state of the four-coordinate(N2O)Nb(NH2)3 complex with N2O bonded via terminal N atom coordination(12) is more stable in the initial stage of reaction,since the bending of the N2O fragment [Edef(N2O) = 86.1 kcal mol-1] results in an energy splitting of the doubly degenerate LUMO;the low-energy LUMO can now strongly couple with the occupied Nb-localized d orbitals,forming a back-bond and transferring charge(q = 0.82 e) from Nb(NH2)3 to the N2O ligand.Going from 32 to 12,the reacting system changes spin multiplicity near the MECP(minimal energy crossing point) region,which takes place with a spin crossing barrier of 9.6-10.0 kcal mol-1.Analysis of spin-orbit coupling(SOC) indicates that MECP will produce a significant SOC matrix element.The value of SOC is 111.52 cm-1,due to the electron shift between two perpendicular φ orbitals with the same rotation direction,and the magnitude of the spin-multi-plicity mixing increases in the small energy gap between high-and low-spin states,greatly enhancing the probability of intersystem crossing.The probabilities of single(P1 ISC) and double(P2 ISC) passes estimated at MECP(SOC = 111.52 cm-1) are approximately 1.17×10-2 and 2.32×10-2,respectively.     

Broken symmetry approach to calculation of exchange coupling constants for homobinuclear and heterobinuclear transition metal complexes

The application of broken symmetry density functional calculations to homobinuclear and heterobinuclear transition metal complexes produces good estimates of the exchange coupling constants as compared to experimental data. The accuracy of different hybrid density functional theory methods was tested. A discussion is presented of the different methodological approaches that apply when a broken symmetry wave function is used with either Hartree–Fock or density functional calculations. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
