Theoretical study of proton tunneling in the excited state of tropolone.

چکیده
Ab initio CIS/6-311++G(d,p) calculations of geometry and vibrational frequencies have been carried out in the A state of tropolone. The grids of potential energy surfaces along the coordinates of high frequency tunneling vibration and the low-frequency coupled vibration have been calculated. Two-dimensional model potentials, formed from symmetric mode coupling potential and squeezed double well potential, have been fitted to the calculated potential energy surfaces and used to analyze proton dynamics. The tunneling splittings for different vibrationally excited states have been calculated and compared with the available experimental data. The model potential energy surfaces, based on the CIS/6-311++G(d,p) calculations, give good estimation of the tunneling energy splittings in the vibrationally ground and excited states of tropolone and explain monotonic decrease in tunneling splittings with the excitation of low-frequency out-of-plane modes and increase in the tunneling splittings with the excitation of low-frequency planar modes.

متن کاملThe Effect of Structural Parameters on the Electronic States and Oscillator Strength of a Resonant Tunneling Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector
In this paper a resonant tunnelling quantum well infrared photodetector (RT-QWIP) is discussed. Each period of this photodetector structure comprises of a resonant tunnelling structure (AlAs/AlGaAs/AlAs) nearby a quantum well (AlGaAs/GaAs). In this photodetector, photocurrent is produced when an electron makes a transition from the ground state of the well to an excited state which is coupled t...
متن کاملOn the Barrier to Excited-state Intramolecular Proton Transfer (esipt): the Controversial Assignment of the Spectra of 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyijhydroquinone in Solid Argon
The spectra of 2,5-bis( 2-benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone (BBXHQ) in solid argon at IS K reveals two species. The major species (96%) undergoes very efficient excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) after excitation to S,. It is assigned to the isolated BBXHQ molecule (solvated by argon atoms) in which ESIPT is not thermally activated. Either no energy barrier exists or it can be overcom...
متن کاملExcited-State Parameters of One Intramolecular Cyclization by TD-DFT, CIS and ZINDO Methods
Using a time-dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT), Configuration Interaction Singles (CIS) and Zerner’s Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap (ZINDO) methods, we have investigated the UV-Visible spectra of one new intramolecular cyclization at before and after intramolecular attack. All structures were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level while UV-Visible parameters were calcul...
