使用基于MAPPING哈密顿的对称准经典动力学方法和基于ML-MCTDH的量子动力学方法研究超快电子转移

Symmetrical quasi-classical (SQC) method based on mapping Hamiltonian is an efficient approach that is potentially useful to treat the nonadiabatic dynamics of very large systems. We try to evaluate the performance of this method in the ultrafast electron transfer processes involving a few of electronic states and a large number of vibrational modes. The multilayer multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree (ML-MCTDH) method was used to get the accurate dynamical results for benchmark. Although the population dynamics in the longtime limit show differences in the ML-MCTDH and SQC calculations, the SQC method gives acceptable results.     

STUDIES ON THERMOTROPIC LIQUID CRYSTALLINE COPOLYESTERS——POLY (ARYLENE TEREPHTHALATE-CO-BUTYLENE TEREPHTHALATE)

A series of copolyesters based on bis(4-hydroxybutyl) terephthalate, terephthaloyl chloride andvarious aromatic diols (i.e. hydroquinone, chlorohydroquinone, bromohydroquinone or dihydroxybi-phenyl) was prepared. ~1H-NMR studies revealed that the monomer units had microstructures closeto random distribution in the chains. The copolymers showed composition-dependent liquid crystal-line properties as verified by visual observation of stir opalescence, polarizing microscope, DSC andX-ray diffration. The copolyesters with aromatic diol contents over a certain extent (for chloro-hydroquinone m≥0.33) were thermotropic with wide liquid crystalline temperature ranges. Theintroduction of chlorohydroquinone into the copolyesters could gradually destroy the crystallinityof the polymers but retain the liquid crystalline characteristics.
