We present a systematic theoretical study of the five smallest oligoacenes (naphthalene, anthracene, tetracene, pentacene, and hexacene) in their anionic,neutral, cationic, and dicationic charge states. We used density functional theory (DFT) to obtain the ground-state optimised geometries, and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) to evaluate the electronic absorption spectra. Total-energy differences enabled us to evaluate the electron affinities and first and second ionisation energies, the quasiparticle correction to the HOMO-LUMO energy gap and an estimate of the excitonic effects in the neutral molecules. Electronic absorption spectra have been computed by combining two different implementations of TD-DFT: the frequency-space method to study general trends as a function of charge-state and molecular size for the lowest-lying in-plane long-polarised and short-polarised $π\toπ^\star$ electronic transitions, and the real-time propagation scheme to obtain the whole photo-absorption cross-section up to the far-UV. Doubly-ionised PAHs are found to display strong electronic transitions of $π\toπ^\star$ character in the near-IR, visible, and near-UV spectral ranges, like their singly-charged counterparts. While, as expected, the broad plasmon-like structure with its maximum at about 17-18 eV is relatively insensitive to the charge-state of the molecule, a systematic decrease with increasing positive charge of the absorption cross-section between about 6 and about 12 eV is observed for each member of the class.
Impact of environmentally induced fluctuations on quantum mechanically mixed electronic and vibrational pigment states in photosynthetic energy transfer and 2D electronic spectra
最近,在2D电子光谱中的核振动贡献签名已经引起了相当大的兴趣,特别是在光捕获复合物中观察到的振荡瞬态的解释方面。这些瞬变具有持续比理论上预测的电子相干寿命长得多的退相时间。作为对2D电子光谱中的这种长寿命光谱跳动的合理解释,Christensson等人[J. Phys. Chem. B 116,7449(2012)]提出了量子力学混合的电子和振动态(振动激子),并且此后进行了探索。在这项工作中,我们解决了一个二聚体,产生小跳动的电子起源的情况下,振动的贡献,并检查蛋白质诱导的波动后,电子振动量子混合物的影响,通过计算电子能量转移动力学和二维电子光谱在数值上准确的方式。研究发现,在低温下,电子-振动量子混合物是相当稳健的,即使在涨落的影响下,尽管Franck-Condon活动振动模式的Huang-Rhys因子很小.这导致在2D电子光谱中振动源的持久的拍频行为。然而,在生理温度下,波动消除了混合,因此,2D光谱中的跳动消失了。此外,它表明,这样的电子振动量子混合物不一定在电子能量转移动力学中发挥重要作用,尽管有助于增强长寿命的量子拍在二维电子光谱,在最近的出版物中的猜测相反。

振动分辨的电子吸收光谱,包括振动预激发的影响进行计算,以解释和预测振动促进电子共振(VIPER)实验中探测的电子振动跃迁[L. J. G. W. van Wilderen等人,Angew.国际版53,2667(2014)]。为此,我们采用时间独立和时间依赖性的方法的基础上评估的Franck-Condon重叠积分和傅立叶变换的时域波包自相关函数,分别。与时间无关的方法使用FCclasses方法[F. Santoro等人,J. Chem.Phys.126,084509(2007)]。在依赖于时间的方法中,自相关函数通过波包传播和解析表达式的评价获得,包括杜辛斯基旋转效应在内的谐波近似。对于几个中等大小的多原子系统,它示出,选择性预激发特定的振动模式导致的电子吸收光谱的低频边缘的红移,这是VIPER实验的先决条件。这种效应通常在芳香族π系统内的环畸变模式的激发时最明显。理论预测,哪些模式显示最强的VIPER效应被发现与实验非常一致。
