Influence of Solvent Polarity and Hydrogen Bonding on the Electronic Transition of Coumarin 120: A TDDFT Study

The characteristics of the electronic transition energy of Coumarin 120 (C120) and its H‐bonded complexes in various solvents have been examined by time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in combination with a polarizable continuum solvent model (PCM). Molecular structures of C120 and its H‐bonded complexes are optimized with the B3LYP method in PCM solution, and the dihedral angle H14? N13? C7? H15 is dependent on solvent polarity and the type of H‐bond. A linear correlation of the absorption maximum of C120 with the solvent polarity function is revealed with the PCM model for all solvents except DMSO. The experimental absorption maximum of C120 in nine solvents is well described by a PCM–TDDFT scheme augmented with explicit inclusion of a few H‐bonded solvent molecules, and quantitative agreement between our calculated results and experimental measurements is obtained with an average error of less than 2 nm. H‐bonding at three different sites shifts the absorption wavelength of C120 either to the blue or to the red, that is, a significant role is played by solvent molecules in the first solvation shell in determining the electronic transition energy of C120. The dependence on the H‐bonding site and solvent polarity is examined by using the Kamlet–Taft equation for solvatochromism.     

基于最新势能面的C(1D)+H2反应的环聚合分子动力学研究

本文利用环聚合分子动力学方法对C(¹D)+H₂反应开展了详细的理论研究. 计算中使用了最近构建的Zhang-Ma-Bian(ZMB)从头算势能面,该势能面对锥形交叉附近区域以及范德华区域均有精确的描述. 环聚合分子动力学计算得到的热反应速率常数与最新实验值吻合很好. 与前人计算结果比较,发现在?¹A′电子基态的ZMB-a势能面上获得的反应速率常数远大于前人构建的RKHS势能面上的结果,这是由于ZMB势能面上的范德华鞍具有与之前势能面上的范德华阱完全不同的动态学作用,表明环聚合分子动力学方法能够处理范德华作用引起的势能面拓扑结构所导致的动态学效应. 本文还揭示了b¹A′′电子激发态ZMB-b势能面以及量子效应对反应的重要性.

Synthesis,Spectroscopy, Crystal Structure Determination,and Quantum Chemical Calculations of BODIPY Dyes with Increasing Conformational Restriction and Concomitant Red‐Shifted Visible Absorption and Fluorescence Spectra

Starting from the conformationally unconstrained compound 3,5‐di‐(2‐bromophenoxy)‐4,4‐difluoro‐8‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐4‐bora‐3a,4a‐diaza‐s‐indacene ( 1 ), two BODIPY dyes ( 2 and 3 ) with increasingly rigid conformations were synthesized in outstanding total yields through palladium catalyzed intramolecular benzofuran formation. Restricted bond rotation of the phenoxy fragments leads to dyes 2 and 3 , which absorb and fluoresce more intensely at longer wavelengths relative to the unconstrained dye 1 . Reduction of the conformational flexibility in 2 and 3 leads to significantly higher fluorescence quantum yields compared to those of 1 . X‐ray diffraction analysis shows the progressively more extended planarity of the chromophore in line with the increasing conformational restriction in the series 1 → 2 → 3 , which explains the larger red shifts of the absorption and emission spectra. These conclusions are confirmed by quantum chemical calculations of the lowest electronic excitations in 1 , 1a , 2 , 2a , 3 and dyes of related chemical structures. The effect of the molecular structure on the visible absorption and fluorescence emission properties of 1 , 1a , 2 , 2a , 3 has been examined as a function of solvent by means of the new, generalized treatment of the solvent effect (J. Phys. Chem. B 2009 , 113, 5951–5960). Solvent polarizability is the primary factor responsible for the small solvent‐dependent shifts of the visible absorption and fluorescence emission bands of these dyes.     

The structure and the potential energy function of AlSO(C_S,X~2A″)

By using the B3P86/aug-cc-pvtz method,the accurate equilibrium geometry of the AlSO(CS,X2A″) molecule has been calculated and compared with available theoretical values.The obtained results show that the AlSO molecule has a most stable structure with bond lengths of R OAl = 0.1864 nm,R OS = 0.1623 nm,R AlS = 0.2450 nm,together with a dissociation energy of 13.88 eV.The possible electronic states and their reasonable dissociation limits for the ground state of the AlSO molecule were determined based on the principle of atomic and molecular reaction statics.The analytic potential energy function of the AlSO molecule was derived by the many-body expansion theory and the contour lines were constructed for the first time,which show the internal information of the AlSO molecule,including the equilibrium structure and stable point.The analysis demonstrates that the obtained potential energy function of AlSO is reasonable and successful and the present investigations provide important insights for further study on molecular reaction dynamics.
