Detailed Quantitative and Visual Analysis Methods for Electronic Excitation ProcessesOwing to a tremendous effort in method development and to the availability of supercomputers it is possible nowadays to perform highly accurate simulations of complex excited state phenomena even in large systems. However, the wavefunctions produced in these computations are difficult to interpret if many interacting configurations and orbitals are involved. Even more, for large systems excitonic effects come into play, which are difficult to comprehend in a standard molecular orbital picture. Therefore, new analysis methods are direly needed to get full insight into the computations performed. This contribution will provide an overview over our recently developed wavefunction analysis framework [1, 2, 3], which provides detailed visual and quantitative analysis tools for excited state computations. The power of these methods will be illustrated in three examples. First, a recent study on the bsorbing states in single-stranded DNA will be presented [4]. In this case a rigorous and automated quantitative analysis is particularly beneficial when ombined with structural sampling in this flexible multichromophoric system. Second, it will be discussed how the same analysis strategy can be extended to the case of transition metal complexes [5] and recent results on a Rhenium complex will be presented. Finally, the emergence of excitonic effects will be discussed in the case of conjugated polymers [6]. It will be shown that the exciton size in these systems scales uniformly with the system size and is independent of the molecular details. The description of these excitonic effects within time-dependent density functional theory will be discussed. Refernces: [1] F. Plasser, H. Lischka, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 8, 2777 (2012). [2] S. A.

Non-Adiabatic Dynamics of Nuclear Spin IsomersAlthough the existence of nuclear-spin isomers (NSIs) was reported already 1927 by Heisenberg and Hund [1,2], separation and conversion of NSIs has been achieved only for a couple of polyatomic molecules. Recently, a lot of work has been devoted to simulate the excited state dynamics of NSIs, paying attention to possible differences in the dynamics of the isomers in order to use the excited state dynamics to discriminate and possibly separate different NSIs [3,4]. Here we present an investigation of the influence of non-adiabatic coupling terms (NACTs) on the excited state dynamics of 1,1-difluoroethylene (1,1-DFE). Using torsional wave packet dynamics to simulate the different NSIs, we show that the effect of large NACTs near conical intersections still allows us to distinguish between different NSIs [5].

Separating Nuclear Spin Isomers of a Quinodimethane Derivative using Pump-Dump controlThe concept of Nuclear Spin Isomers was already introduced in the early days of quantum mechanics. Recently, we investigated the different nuclear spin isomers of 2-[4-(cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-ylidene) cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]-2H-1,3-dioxole (CCD), a quinodimethan derivative. Using the concept of the molecular symmetry group, we could show that CCD has four different nuclear spin isomers in the low temperature limit T-> 0K [1]. Investigation the possibility to separate the different nuclear spin isomers, we make use of the fact that the different isomers of CCD show a difference in the excited state dynamics, arising from different interference patters of different parts of the wave function while being propagated in the excited state potential energy surface. Making use of these differences in the excited state dynamics, wee propose to use ultra short laser pulses in a pump-dump like experiment to shift the ratio between different NSIs in the electronic ground state away from its equilibrium value and thus enhance specifically one nuclear spin isomer species.

Photoinduced inter-molecular charge transfer in H. Pylori flavodoxin: Assessment through TD-DFT and MS-RASPT2 calculationsHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacteria, which contains flavodoxin (FD) to function as a redox protein. FD binds flavin mononucleotide (FMN) as a cofactor. Its UV-Visible spectra indicate a presence of a charge transfer (CT) process. However, the mechanism of CT process is still unclear. Therefore, in this work, the electronic spectra of FD were studied by means of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and Multi-State Restricted Active Space Perturbation Theory of Second order/Restricted Active Space Self-Consistent Field (MS-RASPT2/RASSCF). For TD-DFT calculations, various hybrid exact exchange and long-range correction functional in water and in protein mimicked solvation were employed. Using B3LYP-35, B97D and PBE0 hybrid exact exchange functionals, the S1 state can be assigned to the dark CT state in which the wave functions were transferred from Tyr to Iso moiety and the S2 state is assigned to be the locally excited (LE) state. In contrast, CAM-B3LYP, M06-2X and B97XD long range-corrected functionals show the opposite results. The red-shifts were found by going from the less polar environment to the polar media which implies that the CT states are preferably stabilized in polar condition. The MS-RASPT2/RASSCF (27,2,2;15,4,8) was further investigated. The results show that the bright state is LE with the excitation energy of 2.69 eV, which is very close to the TD-DFT excitation energies (2.23 - 2.86 eV). The RASPT2 excitation energy of the dark inter-molecular CT state is 3.95 eV which is substantially higher than the TD-DFT excitation energies (1.58 - 3.19 eV).

Investigating cis-trans isomerization in push-pull quinodimethanesPush-pull olefinic chromophores, systems characterized by an electron-withdrawing and an electron-donating group substituting each side of the double bond, show a very polarized double bond. Therefore the rotational barrier is lower than that of ordinary olefin making push-pull olefins interesting candidates for molecular switches. In this work we investigate push-pull quinodimethanes, which besides molecular switches, are considerable interesting as candidates for second order NLO (non-linear optics) materials. Using multiconfigurational ab initio calculations we show that no S0/S1 conical intersection exist for the cis-trans isomerization in these cases, but different S1/S2 degeneracies exist at twisted geometries around any of the two double bonds. Quantum wavepacket propagations in reduced dimensionality, comprising exclusively the two isomerization pathways around the double bonds, are employed to investigate the torsional dynamics through the conical intersections allowing for interferences effects.

Italy. cInstitute of Theoretical Chemistry, University of Vienna, Währingerstrasse 17, 1090 Vienna, Austria e-mail: lara.martinez@uam.es Thiopurines, such as 6-Thioguanine (6-TG), have been used in medicine for more than five decades as effective cytotoxic agents to fight cancer and other inflammatory diseases. Long term treatment with these prodrugs, however, has been recently connected with a substantial increase of skin cancer incidence, attributed to the incorporation of 6-TG into patient's DNA and the subsequent formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).[1,2] ROS are generated via an energy transfer process between the first triplet state, T1, of 6-TG and molecular oxygen present in the cells. The mechanistic path to the T1 excited state is expected to shed new light on the origin of 6-TG toxicity and to contribute to the design of alternative non-carcinogenic immunosuppressants. Using CASSCF/CASPT2 theories we have unveiled the deactivation mechanism of 6-TG from its spectroscopic state, S2.[3] Following minimum energy reaction paths we have located the main deactivation pathways of excited 6-TG along the singlet manifold as well as the points of the potential energy surface where the population of the triplet state is likely to occur. Further information on the preferred deactivation pathways and the time scales of these processes, extracted from semiclassical molecular dynamics simulations, will be presented. Finally, the potential cytotoxicity of pyrimidine natural nucleobases will be discussed based on preliminary calculations on 4-Thiothymidine vertical singlet and triplet spectra and its main internal conversion channels.

Ruthenium-polypyridine complexes play a central role in various applications associated with the generation of charge separated species in e.g. coordination polymers, supramolecular catalysts or sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. Here, we present a detailed spectroscopic study of the photoinduced charge-separation steps in two classes of ruthenium-polypyridine systems: (i) ruthenium-polypyridine based black absorbers and (ii) ruthenium-terpyridine based white emitters. We discuss the localization of the initial optical transitions in concert with a detailed study of the subsequent picoseconds to nanosecond excited-state dynamics.

(i) The ruthenium-polypyridine based black absorbers bare a novel 4H-imidazole type ligand, the electronic structure of which determines the photophysical properties. Here particular emphasize is put on the correlation between the substitution pattern of the 4H-imidazole ligand and its protonation state and the resulting photoinduced electron transfer processes.

(ii) The ruthenium-terpyridine based white emitters discussed here contain as a central feature an extended aromatic chromophore attached at the 4-position of the terpyridine moiety coordinating the central Ru(II) ion. A delicate balance between metal-to-ligand charge-transfer states and pp* states associated with the organic chromophore is shown to determine the luminescent properties of such systems. Here we discuss the photoinitiated processes leading to the formation of the luminescent state in such supramolecular white emitters.
