An extended conical intersection seam associated with a manifold of decay paths: excited-state intramolecular proton transfer in O-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
O-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (OHBA) is a prototypical photoprotector exhibiting excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Here we report how its photostability depends on an extended conical intersection seam associated with a manifold of decay paths. Thus, the photoreactivity of OHBA derives from a flat excited-state potential energy surface with barriers of only tenths of electronvolts b...

متن کاملUltrafast excited-state charge transfer at a conical intersection: effects of an environment
The influence of a polar and polarizable environment on charge transfer processes at a conical intersection (CI) can be described by a diabatic free energy model yielding coupled surfaces as a function of both molecular coordinates and a solvent coordinate. We extend and apply this model for the S1-S0 CI in protonated Schiff bases, representing a model for retinal isomerization (Faraday Discuss...
متن کاملExcited-State Decay Paths in Tetraphenylethene Derivatives
The photophysical properties of tetraphenylethene (TPE) compounds may differ widely depending on the substitution pattern, for example, with regard to the fluorescence quantum yield ϕf and the propensity to exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE). We report combined electronic structure calculations and nonadiabatic dynamics simulations to study the excited-state decay mechanisms of two TPE ...
متن کاملAuger decay calculations with core-hole excited-state molecular-dynamics simulations of water.
We report a new theoretical procedure for calculating Auger decay transition rates including effects of core-hole excited-state dynamics. Our procedure was applied to the normal and first resonant Auger processes of gas-phase water and compared to high-resolution experiments. In the normal Auger decay, calculated Auger spectra were found to be insensitive to the dynamics, while the repulsive ch...
