The photoelectron spectra yield binding energies of both ground and excited states. We combine the experimental results with surface hopping time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations employing B3LYP+D3 and ωB97X−D functionals. The results demonstrate that the method is generally suitable for description of ultrafast dynamics in these molecules and can recover absolute binding energies observed in the experiment. The B3LYP+D3 functional appears to be better suited for these systems, especially in the case of Metanil Yellow, where it indicates the importance of an intramolecular charge transfer state. Our results pave the way towards quantitative understanding of evolving electronic structure in photo-induced relaxation processes.

Herein, we report direct UV/VIS spectroscopic evidence for the existence of an o-benzyne in solution, and establish the dynamics of its formation in a photoinduced reaction. For this purpose, we investigated a bis-diyne compound using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in the ultraviolet/visible region. In the first step, we observe excited-state isomerization on a sub-10 ps time scale. For identification of the o-benzyne species formed within 50–70 ps, and the corresponding photochemical hexadehydro-Diels–Alder (hν-HDDA) reactions, we employed two intermolecular trapping strategies. In the first case, the o-benzyne was trapped by a second bis-diyne, i.e., self-trapping. The self-trapping products were then identified in the transient absorption experiments by comparing their spectral features to those of the isolated products. In the second case, we used perylene for trapping and reconstructed the spectrum of the trapping product by removing the contribution of irrelevant species from the experimentally observed spectra. Taken together, the UV/VIS spectroscopic data provide a consistent picture for o-benzyne derivatives in solution as the products of photo-initiated HDDA reactions, and we deduce the time scales for their formation.

@article{C8CP01937A, abstract = {The ultrafast photophysics and photochemistry of benzocyclobutenedione (BCBD) dissolved in dichloromethane is investigated by transient absorption spectroscopy in both the IR and the UV/Vis regime. The molecule is excited at 300 nm to the S3 (ππ*) state and a time scale from roughly 100 fs to several nanoseconds is covered. The initially excited S3 deactivates quickly to the lower-lying S1 (nπ*) state. Three parallel photochemical reaction pathways starting in the S1 state that compete with deactivation to S0 are identified in the transient IR spectra{,} two of them consisting of a sequence of steps. DFT/TDDFT calculations of the normal modes of the reactant and various photoproducts support the analysis of the transient spectra.

The molecule is excited at 300 nm to the S3 (ππ*) state and a time scale from roughly 100 fs to several nanoseconds is covered. The initially excited S3 deactivates quickly to the lower-lying S1 (nπ*) state. Three parallel photochemical reaction pathways starting in the S1 state that compete with deactivation to S0 are identified in the transient IR spectra, two of them consisting of a sequence of steps. DFT/TDDFT calculations of the normal modes of the reactant and various photoproducts support the analysis of the transient spectra.

We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the ultrafast dynamics of excimer formation in the pyrene dimer in a supersonic jet{,} which is the archetype of an excimer forming system. We perform simulations of the nonadiabatic photodynamics in the frame of TDDFT that reveal two distinct excimer formation pathways in the gas-phase dimer.

The second excimer forming pathway involves large amplitude oscillations along the parallel shift coordinate with a period of ≈900 fs that after intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution leads to the formation of a perfectly stacked dimer. The electronic relaxation within the excitonic manifold is mediated by the presence of intermolecular conical intersections formed between fully delocalized excitonic states. Such conical intersections may generally arise in stacked π-conjugated aggregates due to the interplay between the long-range and short-range electronic coupling.

@article{B718603G, abstract = {The present paper shows how theoretically determined electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters can help in assigning the most favorable structure of Cu(ii) complexes in octarepeat (OR) regions (PHGGGWGQ) of the prion protein (PrP). This could contribute to a better understanding of the molecular structure of the Cu(OR) complexes{,} as some features of such species in solution are still unclear. The present theoretical investigation on [Cu(ii)(HGGG)] and [Cu(ii)(HGGGW)] complexes was carried out to confirm the stability of relevant isomers{,} and in particular{,} to evaluate the hyperfine coupling constants (hcc) with 63Cu{,} 14N and 17O nuclei{,} as well as the g values. The hcc (and to a lesser extent the g components) are useful probes for checking whether the computed EPR parameters for specific isomers fit the experimental data{,} thus permitting the association of the observed spectra with a specific complex structure. The results obtained suggest that the Cu(ii) ion in the [Cu(HGGG)] isomers prefers a square pyramidal coordination with three nitrogen atoms of the peptide and one carbonyl oxygen atom in the basal plane. Also the Cu(ii) ion in the [Cu(HGGGW)] complex is penta-coordinated. The penta-coordination does not actually involve the tryptophan residue but an additional water molecule{,} forced to occupy the axial coordination position by a rather extended hydrogen-bond network{,} promoted by the tryptophan residue. The comparison between the calculated and experimental values of EPR parameters allows one to suggest the assignment of the coordination mode of the Cu(ii) ion in the considered peptide ligands.
