2-甲基呋喃分子激发态超快非绝热动力学

Excited-state dynamics of 2-methyl furan has been studied by femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging. The molecule 2-methyl furan was simultaneously excited to the n=3 Rydberg series of S₁[¹A"(π3s)], ¹A'(π3p_x), ¹A"(π3p_y) and ¹A"(π3p_z) and the valence state of ¹A'(ππ^*) by two 400 nm photons and subsequently probed by two 800 nm photons. The average lifetime of the Rydberg series and the valence state was measured to be on the time scale of 50 fs by the time-dependent ion yield of the parent ion. Ultrafast internal conversions among these excited states were observed and extracted from the time-dependences of the photoelectron kinetic energy components of these excited states in the photoelectron kinetic energy spectra. Furthermore, it is identified that the ¹A'(ππ^*) state might play an important role in internal conversions among these excited states. The Rydberg-valence mixings, which result in numerous conical intersections, act as the driving force to accomplish such ultrafast internal conversions.     

Intensity and polarization of emission studies on C6H6 and C6D6 in 3-methylpentane glass at 77 K

The phosphorescence polarization of the week b_2g bands must be entirely in-plane for a ³B_1u assignment for the lowest triplet state of benzene. This emission is found to have 15–20% out-of-plane character, a result which parallels the in-plane character found in the e_2g region. Both results require radiative decay via the A_2g spin sublevel, in disagreement with theory and microwave work. The inconsistency is discussed in terms of the possibilities of solvent perturbation and reorientational depolarizations.

Precautions were taken to avoid the interference caused by photoproduct formation, an effect that can also distort relative emission quantum yields.     

Two-centre model potential energy calculations for the Σ and Π states of Li2, Na2, K2, Rb2 and Cs2

Two-centre model potential calculations have been carried out for the ²Σ⁺_g,u and ²Π_g,u states of Li⁺₂, Na⁺₂, K⁺₂, Rb⁺₂ and Cs⁺₂. Comparison with other model potential calculations suggests that reliable potential curves have been obtained. The results indicate the usefulness of calculating diatomic energies by the method proposed.     

A self consistent field molecular orbital study of the lithium-formaldehyde system

The nature of the lithium—oxygen bond in the lithium—formaldehyde system (a prototype of the ketyl radical—alkali metal ion pairs) is examined by unrestricted Hartree—Fock calculations using minimum and extended Slater-type bases and ghost orbital methods. Two states of the equilibrium C_2v symmetry structure are considered: ²B₁, which is a π radical, and ²A₁, Which is a σ radical. In contrast with the results of Ha et al. [10], the ²B₁, state is found to have a slightly lower energy than ²A ₁, When only s-type basis functions are used for the lithium atom; the ²B₁, state is further stabilized if 2p functions at the lithium centre are included. Inclusion of 2p orbitals on lithium greatly exaggerates the charge density at the lithium atom in single-ζ basis calculations on the ²B₁ state, and earlier calculations by Bernardi and Pedulli [8, 9] are found severely to underestimate the polarity of this state. A much better wave-function is obtained from double-ζ basis calculations, and it is concluded that the net charge of Li in the ²B₁, state is close to + 1. The ²A₁, state, on the other hand, is essentially homopolar.     

Ab initio MRD-CI study of GaAs, GaAs2(±), Ga2As2(±) and As4 clusters

Using pseudopotentials and double zeta basis sets with s, p diffuse functions and two sets of d functions, MRD-CI calculations were performed on As₂^(±), As₄⁽⁺⁾, GaAs⁻, GaAs₂^(±) and Ga₂As₂^(±). This study complements previous theoretical investigations on Ga^(±) to Ga₄^(±) and GaAs⁽⁺⁾. For As₄ tetrahedral symmetry was assumed, and Re of X¹A₁ determined as 4.73a₀. Vertical ionization potentials to several states of As₄⁺ were calculated. For GaAs₂, GaAs₂⁺ and GaAs₂⁻, ground and one low-lying state were geometry-optimized, both in C_2v (Ga-As-As), and linear symmetry (GaAsAs, C_∞h and AsGaAs, D_∞h). The lowest state of GaAs₂ is ²B₂ in C_2v. For Ga₂As₂, the lowest state and low-lying excited states were optimized in various geometries. The most stable state has rhombic structure (¹A_g in D_2h), but T-form and other forms (C_2v, C_∞v, D_∞h) are only 1–2 eV less stable. In D_2h symmetry, several low-lying excited states of Ga₂As₂ were studied. The ground states of Ga₂As₂⁺ and Ga₂As₂⁻ were found to be ²B_2u, and ²B_2g, respectively. Trends in ionization potentials (IP), electron affinities (EA), atomization energies and fragmentation energies for the molecules Ga_xAs_y and the pure compounds Ga_n and As_n up to 4 atoms, were studied. Ga_xAs_y clusters, with x + y even, have higher IP's than odd-numbered clusters. An experimentally observed alternation of EA, whereby an odd number of atoms have higher EA than their even neighbors, is confirmed. The mixed compounds Ga_xAs_y have atomization energies between those of Ga_n and As_n (x + y = n), usually closer to those of Ga_n. Fragmentation of Ga_xAs_y occurs such that As----As bonds are retained, and if possible, also Ga----As bonds, since the dissociation energy of As₂ is higher than that of GaAs, which in turn is higher than that of Ga₂. Calculated fragmentation energies agree qualitatively with experimental observations about the composition of 3-atomic and 4-atomic clusters Ga_xAs_y.

Atomic and molecular absorption spectra of indium in air-acetylene flame

Absorption spectra of both atomic and molecular species in the air-acetylene flame, which are produced when the aqueous solutions of indium dissolved in HNO₃, HF, HCl, HBr and HI were aspirated into the flame, have been investigated in the u.v. region. Numerous atomic absorption lines of indium have been observed in the absorption spectra. Most of these lines were previously listed only as emission lines. Those atomic lines have been ascribed to the electronic transitions from the ground states of 5p ²P_1/2⁰ and 5p ²P_3/2⁰ to the excited states such as ls ²S_1/2, md ²D_3/2, nd ²D_5/2, 4p^{2 4}P_1/2, 4p^{2 4}P_3/2 and 4p^{2 4}P_5/2, respectively, where 13 l 6 and 14 m,n 5. The molecular absorption bands for InF, InCl and InBr in the airacetylene flame have been also observed near 234 nm, 267 nm and 282 nm, respectively, as the electronic transition of ¹Σ⁺ → ¹Π₁ Those absorption bands show fine structures due to the molecular vibrations. The spectral parameters for the molecular vibrations have been obtained from the simulations of the observed spectra. The molecular absorption band for InI was not observed because of the decomposition of the molecule in the flame. In addition, the molecular absorption band for InO has been observed near 273 nm and those for NO near 205 and 215 nm.     

The low energy two-photon spectrum of pyrazine using the phosphorescence photoexcitation method

The two-photon phosphorescence excitation spectrum of neat pyrazine crystal at 1.6 K has been examined in the region 6800-4250 A. A discussion of two-photon allowed and vibronically induced transitions is given. The theoretical discussion shows that, due to the added possibility of vibronic mixing in the intermediate state, in general more non-totally symmetric vibrations are expected to show intensity in a symmetry forbidden two-photon spectrum than in a forbidden one-photon spectrum. An estimate of the relative intensities of allowed and vibronically induced (n, π*) two photon transitions in pyrazine have been carried out using the Cl energies and MO transition moments obtained by Wadt and Goddard. Comparison of these results with the normalized spectrum obtained with polarized light indicates the absorptions observed in the region 30 000–35 000 cm⁻¹ are analyzable in terms of a single electronic transition with a forbidden origin which coincides with the ¹B_3u ← ¹A_g one-photon transition origin. Several of the prominent false origins appearing in this region have been tentatively assigned and indicate that, unlike symmetric modes, frequencies of asymmetric vibrations are significantly altered in the excited state. A lower limit of 0.8 eV is set for the ¹B_3u-¹B_2g splitting which results from the interactions of the two pyrazine lone pair orbitals.     

Br2 in an ar matrix: an example of complete damping of the resonance raman scattering amplitude in the discrete resonance limit

Raman scattering and relaxed fluorescence is observed upon cw laser excitation resonant with the lower vibrational manifold of the X(¹Σ_o+u) → B(³Π_o+u) transition of matrix isolated Br₂ at liquid He temperatures. The excitation profile of the relaxed fluorescence maps out the resonances, but neither detectable enhancement of Raman scattering nor resonance fluorescence is observed.     

State and velocity distributions of Cl atoms produced in the photodissociation of ICI at 237 nm

Photofragment spectroscopy of ICI molecules photodissociated at 237 nm is studied by 2 + 1 resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization and time of flight techniques. Doppler profiles of the chlorine atom fragments in two spin—orbit states show that chlorine atoms in the ground state, ²P_3/2, are produced from a perpendicular dissociative transition, and chlorine atoms in the excited state, ²P , arise from a parallel transition. The possible electronically excited states leading to dissociation in both the perpendicular and parallel cases are considered.     

Absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) studies of 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxy diimides in terms of CASSCF method and FC theory

The electronic and geometrical structures of the low-energy states of 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride parent diimide (1) are studied in terms of the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) method employed at different level with respect to the size and the quality of the active space. In the framework of the vibronic model based on the Franck–Condon (FC) effect the absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra are studied in the excitation region corresponding to two low-energy 1¹A_g → 1¹B_2u and 1¹A_g → 1¹B_3u electronic transitions in diimides. In that (visible) excitation region the CASSCF computations with the 5π[4n]5π active space (i.e., the naphthalene-like π orbitals enriched by the four lone pair orbitals of the oxygen atoms) were found to reproduce very well the empirical absorption and the MCD spectra measured for the dicyclohexyl-N,N^′-substituted diimide (2). At the same CASSCF/5π[4n]5π level, the electronic absorption of diimides in the near UV excitation region were attributed to the 1¹A_g → 2¹B_1u, 1¹A_g → 2¹B_3u and 1¹A_g → 2¹B_2u electronic transitions; the latter two are mostly localized on the “diimide chromophore”. For these transitions the calculated magneto-optical characteristics, such as sign pattern and intensity distribution in the MCD spectrum, were found to be consistent with that experimentally observed for the diimide 2 compound.     

Uroleuconaphins A2a, A2b, B2a, and B2b: four yellowish pigments from the aphid Uroleucon nigrotuberculatum (Olive)

Their structures were established by detailed analyses of 1D and 2D NMR spectra and mechanistic consideration of the interconversion between 3 (or 4) and uroleuconaphin A₁ (1) (or B₁ (2)).

S2 → S0 fluorescence in an aromatic thioketone, xanthione

In addition to the red phosphorescence (T₁(³ A₂n, π^*) → S₀) xanthione exhibits in solution an emission with a maximum at ≈ 23 000 cm⁻¹ and φ_f(298°) = 5 × 10⁻³. It is shown that this emission is fluorescence from the second excited singlet state (S₂ (¹A₁ π, π^*) → S₀).     

Mechanism for resonant O electron stimulated desorption from condensed O2. Non-adiabatic transitions and dynamics

Absolute kinetic energy distributions and yields associated with ground state ³P and excited state ¹D oxygen atoms have been obtained for O⁻ anion electron stimulated desorption from condensed O₂ in the electron energy range 6–15 eV. The observed yields are understood as resulting essentially from dissociative electron attachment reactions via the two lowest ²Σ⁺_g O⁻₂ resonance states through adiabatic and non-adiabatic transitions to the limits O⁻(²P) + O(³P) and O⁻(²P) + O(¹D). The kinetic energy distributions show the prominent role of electron multiple collision processes and post-dissociation interactions of the O⁻ anions in the condensed phase.     

Magnetism down to 0.90 K, zero-field splitting, and the ligand field in chromocene

The magnetism of chromocene, Cr(cp)₂ where CP = C₅H⁻₅, has been measured as a function of temperature between 0.90 and 303.2 K. The results are reproduced by complete ligand field theory in slightly distorted C_∞v symmetry (Dt = 1153, Ds = 4212, Dq = 28, ζ = 67, B = 553 cm⁻¹, C/B = 4 and k = 0.37). The ground state ³E₂(a₁e³₂) shows a zero-field splitting, D = 15.1 cm⁻¹, E = 0.     

Electronic spectra and transitions of the fullerene C60

Absorption spectra of C₆₀ have been measured in the ranges (a) 190–700 nm in n-hexane solutions at 300 K, (b) 390–700 nm in n-hexane and in 3-methylpentane solutions at 77 K. 40 vibronic bands were observed. They exhibit a large range of bandwidths and intensities, whose significance is discussed. Assignment of electronic transitions has been carried out using the results of theoretical calculations. Vibronic structures have been analyzed within the framework of theories of electronic transitions of polyatomic molecules applied to the I_h symmetry group. Nine allowed ¹T_1u−¹A_g transitions have been assigned in the 190–410 nm region. Observed and calculated allowed transition energies and oscillator strengths are compared. Detailed vibronic analyses of the 1 ¹T_1u−1 ¹A_g and 2 ¹T_1u−1 ¹A_g transitions illustrate the role of Jahn-Teller couplings. Orbitally forbidden singlet-singlet transitions are observed between 410 and 620 nm. Their vibronic structures were analyzed in terms of concurrent Herzberg-Teller and Jahn-Teller vibronic interactions. The 77 K spectra provided useful information on hot bands and on other aspects of the analyses. Vibronic bands belonging to triplet←singlet transitions were detected between 620 and 700 nm.     

Ab initio calculation of the two lowest excited states of H2S relevant for the photodissociation in the first continuum

We present extensive MRD CI ab initio calculations for the first two excited states of ¹A″ symmetry (¹B₁ and ¹A₂ in the C_2v point group). Full three-dimensional potential energy surfaces are constructed by varying both H---S-bond lengths as well as the HSH bending angle. The lower adiabatic potential is dissociative whereas the upper one is binding. These surfaces, together with the transition dipole moments with the ground electronic state, form the basis for future investigations of the photodissociation of hydrogen sulfide.     

Fraction of excited-state oxygen formed as b Σg in solution-phase-photosensitized reactions II. Effects of sensitizer substituent

The fraction F_Σ of excited-state oxygen formed as b ¹Σ_g⁺ was determined for a series of triplet-state photosensitizers in CCl₄ solutions. F_Σ was determined by monitoring the intensities of (a) O₂(b ¹Σ_g⁺) fluorescence at 1926 nm (O₂(b ¹Σ_g⁺)→O₂(a ¹Δ_g) and (b) O₂(a ¹ Δ_g) phosphorescence at 1270 nm (O₂(a ¹Δ_g) → O₂(X³Σ_g⁻)). Oxygen excited states were formed by energy transfer from substituted benzophenones and acetophenones. The data indicate that F_Σ depends on several variables including the orbital configuration of the lowest triplet state and the triplet-state energy. The available data indicate that the sensitizer-oxygen charge transfer (CT) state is not likely to influence F_Σ strongly by CT-mediated mixing of various sensitizer-oxygen states.
