Abstract: | Using the methods of molecular simulation and HyperChem v.5.0 programs (PM3 method), we carried out calculations of the principal spectroscopic characteristics and of the structure of the laurdan molecule in the ground and the first excited electronic states. The thermal static distribution of molecules over various possible orientations of the plane of methyl groups relative to the plane of the naphthalene bicycle was taken into account. The energies and dipole moments of these electronic states have been calculated as functions of the torsion angle of methyl groups. The existence of an additional mechanism of electronic spectrum broadening is shown; it is associated with thermal mismatch of the equilibrium orientations of the rotational fragment of the molecule and with the dependence of the electron transition frequency on the degree of deviation of the angle from the equilibrium value. The dependence of dipole moments on this angle has been found and calculated. This dependence is the strongest for the ground state. The maximum values of dipole moments in the ground and excited states are 4.0 and 7.6 D. |
