Deactivation of Excited States

Nature abhors an electronically excited state and strives to convert this energy to other forms. This article is concerned with the various pathways involved in the degradation of electronic excitation to ordinary “thermal” forms, but will primarily discuss the quenching of excited states by other molecules. The authors include as examples only those phototransformations and interactions encountered in solution.

强外电场作用下二甲基硅酮的分子结构和激发态

The ground states of dimethyl siloxane under different intense electric fields ranging from - 0. 04 to 0. 04 a. u. are optimized using density functional theory DFT / B3P86 at 6-311 ++ G（d,p）level. The excitation energies and oscillator strengths under the same intense applied electric fields are calculated employing the revised hybrid CIS-DFT method. The result shows that the electronic state,molecular geometry,total energy,dipole moment and excitation energy are strongly dependent on the field strength and behave asymmetry to the direction of the applied electric field. As the electric field changes from - 0. 04 to 0. 04 a. u. ,the bond length of Si-O increases whereas the bond length of Si-C decreases because of the charge transfer induced by the applied electric field. The dipole moment of the ground state decreases linearly with the applied field strength. However,the dipole moment of molecule changes from positive to negative as the inverse electric field increase to - 0. 03 a. u. Further increase of the inverse electric field results in an increase of the total energy of the molecule. The dependence of the calculated excitation energies on the applied electric field strength is fitting well to the relationship proposed by Grozema. The excitation energies of the first five excited states of dimethyl siloxane decrease as the applied electric filed increases because the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO become close with the field,which shows that the molecule is easy to be excited under electric field and hence can be easily dissociated.

Au(I)炔基配合物激发态性质的理论研究

用MP2方法和CIS方法分别优化了Au(I)炔基配合物及相应炔烃的基态和激发态的结构. 计算结果表明, 在基态, 分子有向中间收缩的趋势, Au(I)的修饰作用减弱了配体内部原子间的成键作用. 随着分子链长增长, Au(I)与配体间的相互作用减弱; 激发态的电子跃迁减弱了, Au(I)与配体间的相互作用, 并且这种影响随着分子链增长而更加明显. 计算得出Au(I)炔基配合物体系的荧光发射光谱并发现其独特的发光性质, 说明取代H原子的—AuPH3比—H更具有离子性.     

B2分子的单激发态与强束缚多激发态

双原子分子电子态的实验信息主要来源于基态或低激发态的单光子吸收光谱。激发态与基态相比,通常呈现出弱的成键特征,即平衡核间距增大,振动频率降低。但关于双原子分子多激发态性质的研究较少。近年来,随着多光子技术,特别是共振放大多光子电离(Resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization)光谱学的发展,运用精确的理论计算研究其多激发态的性质有十分重要意义。     

Effect of CC Coherent Vibration on Relative Raman Scattering Cross Sections of All-trans β-Carotene

<正>We have determined the Raman scattering cross sections(RSCSs) ofβ-carotene for C=C and C—C stretching modes,with the 1444 cm~(-1) Raman band of cyclohexane as internal standard,in different solvents at low concentrations by measuring Raman intensity.The results show that RSCSs ofβ-carotene were 10~6—10~7 times larger than the general RSCSs,we analyzed that this enhancement was caused not only by the resonance Raman effect but also by nonlinear coherent CC vibration in aqueousβ-carotene.Moreover,overtone and combinations of it were also observed and their intensities were 10%—20%of those of their fundamentals whenβ-carotene was dissolved in non-polar solvents,respectively.

Ph3PAuX和Ph3AsAuX(X=Cl,Br)的最低三重激发态

分子水平上的激发态理论研究能够用来解释分子材料的多色发光机理. 采用单组态相互作用方法, 计算研究了四种二配位的Au(I)配合物Ph3PAuCl, Ph3PAuBr, Ph3AsAuCl和Ph3AsAuBr的分子结构限制的三重激发态(T1a)和分子结构松弛的三重激发态(T1b)的分子结构与光物理性质. 由于θ(PAuX)/θ(AsAuX)从180°扭曲到120°左右, T1b态的能量在单线态组态相互作用(CIS)水平上降低了0.805-1.124 eV, 在密度泛函理论(DFT)水平上降低了0.820-0.947 eV. 自然键轨道电荷布居数分析表明, 在T1a态中两个单电子主要分布在一个苯基上, 而在T1b态中两个单电子分布在PAuX/AsAuX 上. 因此, 在晶体中观察到的较高能磷光归属于T1a态的苯基之间的3π*→1π电子跃迁, 而较低能磷光主要起源于T1b态的Au 的3σ*→1σ电子跃迁.     

Fully Di erential Cross Sections for Single Ionization of Helium by AuQ+ Impact

We present fully differential cross sections (FDCS) within three-body distorted wave (3DW) for the single ionization of He by 3.6 MeV/amu Au^Q+ (Q=24, 53) ions. By comparing our calculations with experimental data and other theoretical predictions, we find the cross sections are strongly influenced by highly charged projectile, ejected electron would be “pulled” along in the forward direction. However, all of the theoretical approaches can not display experimental unique forward peak structures in the FDCS.

Characterization of the Excited State on Methanol/TiO2(110) Interface (cited:2)

The electronic structure of methanol/TiO₂(110) interface has been studied by photoemission spectroscopy. The pronounced resonance which appears at 5.5 eV above the Fermi level in two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (2PPE) is associated with the photocatalyzed dissociation of methanol at vefold coordinated Ti sites (Ti_5c) on TiO₂(110) surface [Chemical Science 1, 575 (2010)]. To check whether this resonance signal arises from initial or intermediate states, photon energy dependent 2PPE and comparison between one-photon photoemission spectroscopy and 2PPE have been performed. Both results consistently suggest the resonance signal originates from the initially unoccupied intermediate states, i.e., excited states. Dispersion measurements suggest the excited state is localized. Time-resolved studies show the lifetime of the excited state is 24 fs. This work presents comprehensive characterization of the excited states on methanol/TiO₂(110) interface, and provides elaborate experimental data for the development of theoretical methods in reproducing the excited states on TiO₂ surfaces and interfaces.     

Evaluating First-Order Molecular Properties of Delocalized Ionic or Excited States in Molecular Aggregates by Renormalized Excitonic Method

In the past few years, the renormalized excitonic model (REM) approach was developed as an efficient low-scaling ab initio excited state method, which assumes the low-lying excited states of the whole system are a linear combination of various single monomer excitations and utilizes the effective Hamiltonian theory to derive their couplings. In this work, we further extend the REM calculations for the evaluations of first-order molecular properties (e.g. charge population and transition dipole moment) of delocalized ionic or excited states in molecular aggregates, through generalizing the effective Hamiltonian theory to effective operator representation. Results from the test calculations for four different kinds of one dimensional (1D) molecular aggregates (ammonia, formaldehyde, ethylene and pyrrole) indicate that our new scheme can efficiently describe not only the energies but also wavefunction properties of the low-lying delocalized electronic states in large systems.

Excited state properties of neutral, anionic and cationic 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles: A quantum chemical characterization

Structure, electronic states, photoluminescence, and carries transport properties of 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles for light-emitting diodes were investigated experimentally [G. Yu, et al, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 6335], and the excellent electroluminescent (EL) properties of them have been found. In this paper, excited state properties of neutral, anionic and cationic 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles are studied with quantum chemistry method as well as the 3D real space analysis methods. The transition densities of neutral, anionic and cationic 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles show that the orientations and strengths of dipole moments the neutral, anionic and cationic ones are significantly different, where the neutral 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles show the Frenkel character; while the anionic and cationic 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles show the plasmon character. The charge difference densities of neutral, anionic and cationic 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles reveal the important diversity of the orientations and the results of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The theoretical results also reveal the contribution of the substituents at the 1,1-position to the neutral and charged excited state properties of 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles. The calculated results are consistent with the experimental results, and further provide the insight of understanding to the excited state properties of neutral, anionic and cationic 1,1-disubstituted 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsiloles.     

量子Monte Carlo处理激发态

提出了用于电子激发态的剩余函数变分量子ＭｏｎｔｅＣａｒｌｏ（ＳＦＶＭＣ）方法,已经证明：若激发态的初始波函数与基态的初始波函数属于对称性不同的不可约表示时,该激发态的ＳＦＶＭＣ方法与基态的ＳＦＶＭＣ方法完全相同;若激发态的初始波函数与基态的初始波函数有相同的对称性时,只要对激发态的初始波函数作正交性修正,则其态的ＳＦＶＭＣ方法亦可推到该激发态的情况。文章导出了这第二类激发态的ＳＦＶＭＣ方法的详细计
