Abstract: | The character of the hydrogen bonding and the excited state proton transfer (ESPT) in the model system HCN...H(2)O is investigated. The PES of the two lowest excited states of the H(2)O...HCN complex was calculated using the CASPT2 method. The nonadiabatic coupling of the two states of the (pi-->pi*) and (pi-->sigma*) character is responsible for the excited state proton/hydrogen transfer. Compared to the ground state, the barrier for this process is significantly smaller. An increased number of water molecules in the complex with cyclic hydrogen-bonded network causes a large blue shift of the state of the (pi-->sigma*) character. The question of the dissociation of the complex in its excited state is also addressed. |
