Photophysics of the 2-[4-(dimethylamino) styryl]-1-methylquinolinium iodide (DASQMI) molecule has been studied in different solvents by steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy and also with quantum chemical calculations. The probe molecule exhibits a strong solvent-polarity-dependent characteristic. The low-energy fluorescence band of DASQMI shows an anomalous 40 nm blue shift in w...

Accurate (1)H chemical shifts of the -OH groups of polyphenol compounds can be calculated, compared to experimental values, using a combination of DFT, polarizable continuum model (PCM) and discrete solute-solvent hydrogen bond interactions. The study focuses on three molecular solutes: phenol, 4-methylcatechol and the natural product genkwanin in DMSO, acetone, acetonitrile, and chloroform. Ex...

The electronic excitation spectra of both chlorophyllide a (Chl) and pheophorbide a (Pheo) molecules in solvents have been investigated by using the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) along with the polarizable continuum solvation model (PCM). With increasing Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange percentage in DFT functionals, the predicted HOMO-LUMO gaps increase linearly while the excitati...

A new charge model, called Charge Model 4 (CM4), and a new continuum solvent model, called Solvation Model 6 (SM6), are presented. Using a database of aqueous solvation free energies for 273 neutrals, 112 ions, and 31 ion-water clusters, parameter sets for the mPW0 hybrid density functional of Adamo and Barone (Adamo, C.; Barone, V. J. Chem. Phys. 1998, 108, 664-675) were optimized for use with...

The absorption and emission spectra of three azo sulfonamide compounds in different solvents were investigated theoretically by using response functions combined with density functional theory (DFT), while the solvent effect on the structure and the electronic transitions was determined using the integral equation formalism for the polarizable continuum model (IEF-PCM). The results show that th...

Polynitroxides with varying numbers of nitroxide groups (one to four) derived from different aromatic core structures show intramolecular electron spin-spin coupling. The scope of this study is to establish an easy methodology for extracting structural, dynamical, and thermodynamical information from the EPR spectra of these polynitroxides which might find use as spin probes in complex systems,...

Although extensive theoretical and experimental research has been conducted on fluorinated fullerenes, little detailed information exists on their solubility in different solvents. However, this solubility is crucial for their processability and possible application. In this work, we predict the solubility of fluorinated C(60) in various polar and non-polar solvents, based on a correlation betw...

in this work, we investigated the stability of molybdate-phosphonic acid (mpa) complex by density functionaltheory (dft) computations in six solvents with the dielectric constant ranging from 1.92 to 10.36. the methodsare used for calculations are b3lyp and b3pw9 i that have been studied in two series of basis sets: d95nand6-31+g (d,p) for hydrogen and oxygen atoms; lanl2dz for mo and phosphoru...
