Theoretical study of the electronic spectra ofcis-1,3,5-hexatriene andcis-1,3-butadiene
1994
The electronic spectra forcis-1,3-butadiene andcis-1,3,5-hexatriene have been studied using multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) and extended ANO basis sets. The calculations comprise all singlet valence excited states below 8.0 eV, the first 3s, 3p, 3d Rydberg states, and the second 3s state. The four lowest triplet states were also studied. The resulting excitation energies forcis-hexatriene have been used in an assignment of the experimental spectrum, leading to a maximum deviation of 0.13 eV for the vertical transition energies. The calculations place the 11 B 2 state 0.04 eV below the 21 A 1 state. 16 excited states were studied incis-butadiene, using a CASPT2 o…
A theoretical study of the electronic spectrum of thiophene
1993
Abstract The electronic spectrum of thiophene has been studied using multiconfiguration second-order perturbation theory and extended ANO basis sets. The calculations comprise four singlet valence excited states and the 3s3p3rd Rydberg series. The lowest triplet states were included and some n-π* and n-σ* states. The results have been used to assign the experimental spectrum below 8.0 eV, with a maximum deviation of about 0.1 eV for vertical transition energies. The calculations place the 2 1A1 valence state at 5.33 eV, below the 1 1B2 valence state at 5.72 eV, and the most intense valence transitions at 6.69 eV (3 1A1) and 7.32 eV (4 1B2) with oscillator strengths 0.19 and 0.39, respective…
Electronic Transitions in Tetrathiafulvalene and Its Radical Cation: A Theoretical Contribution
2001
The low-lying electronic states of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its radical cation (TTF+) have been studied using the multistate extension of a multiconfigurational second-order perturbation method (MS−CASPT2). The minimum-energy equilibrium geometries optimized at the CASSCF level have a boatlike conformation for the neutral molecule, with no significant barrier toward planarity. A more aromatic planar structure is, however, found for the ionic system. For TTF, the calculations of the vertical excitation energies comprise valence singlet and triplet states as well as the lowest members of the Rydberg series converging to the first ionization limit. Valence doublet states have been consider…
Electronic spectroscopy of I2–Xe complexes in solid Krypton
2012
In the present work, we have studied ion-pair states of matrix-isolated I(2) with vacuum-UV absorption and UV-vis-NIR emission, where the matrix environment is systematically changed by mixing Kr with Xe, from pure Kr to a more polarizable Xe host. Particular emphasis is put on low doping levels of Xe that yield a binary complex I(2)-Xe, as verified by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) measurements. Associated with interaction of I(2) with Xe we can observe strong new absorption in vacuum-UV, redshifted 2400 cm(-1) from the X → D transition of I(2). Observed redshift can be explained by symmetry breaking of ion-pair states within the I(2)-Xe complex. Systematic Xe doping of Kr ma…
Electronic properties of poly(pyrrylene vinylenes): a theoretical approach
1993
Abstract We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic properties of poly(pyrrylene vinylene) and its methyl and methoxy derivatives by using the valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) method. Theoretical calculations predict that the electronic properties of poly(pyrrylene vinylene) remain almost unaffected upon methyl substitution, while a noticeable lowering of ∼0.4 eV is obtained for the ionization potential and energy gap upon methoxy substitution. The VEH trends are in quantitative agreement with experimental data reported for poly(thienylene vinylene) derivatives.
Ground state properties of SmB6
2002
Abstract We have studied the ground state properties of the intermediate valence narrow-gap semiconductor SmB 6 by means of point-contact (PC) spectroscopy and specific heat measurements. The density of states derived from PC tunneling spectra could be decomposed into two energy-dependent parts with E g =21 meV and E d =4.5 meV wide gaps, and a finite residual density of states at the Fermi level. The specific heat of SmB 6 is enhanced below about 2 K, more pronounced for the sample with less impurities. This behavior can be attributed to the formation of a coherent state within the residual density of states in the energy gap.
Coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization in ammonium hexafluoridorhenate.
2020
The (NH4)2[ReF6] (1) salt was studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, theoretical calculations, and magnetic measurements. 1 crystallizes in the trigonal space group Pm1 (Re–F = 1.958(5) A). In the Raman spectrum of 1, splitting of the observed peaks was observed and correlated to the valence frequencies of vibration of the [ReF6]2− anion. The study of the magnetic properties of 1, through DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements, reveals the coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization at low temperature, which is unusual in the molecular systems based on the paramagnetic 5d metal ions reported so far.
Rydberg, valence and mixed states in the vertical spectrum of HF
2009
Abstract Size-consistent self-consistent multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction (SC)2–MR–SDCI, and linear response coupled cluster of singles and doubles including triples LR–CCSDR(3) methods, with a basis set of ANO’s augmented with a single series of molecular Rydberg functions, have been applied to the calculation of vertical excitation energies of HF in the 10–16 eV region. Special care has been put in the description of the valence, Rydberg and mixed states. Some advantage has been taken from the different physical contents of the methods to discuss some assignments. The (4,5) f Rydberg states of HF are predicted at 15.2 and 15.5 eV.
Theoretical characterization of the lowest-energy absorption band of pyrrole
2002
The lowest-energy band of the electronic spectrum of pyrrole has been studied with vibrational resolution by using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) and its multistate extension (MS–CASPT2) in conjunction with large atomic natural orbital-type basis sets including Rydberg functions. The obtained results provide a consistent picture of the recorded spectrum in the energy region 5.5–6.5 eV and confirm that the bulk of the intensity of the band arises from a ππ∗ intravalence transition, in contradiction to recent theoretical claims. Computed band origins for the 3s,3p Rydberg electronic transitions are in agreement with the available experimental data, although new…
Electronic structure of metal‐free phthalocyanine : A valence effective Hamiltonian theoretical study
1988
We present a valence effective Hamiltonian (VEH) nonempirical investigation of the electronic properties of metal‐free phthalocyanine. The valence one‐electron energy levels are related to those of the phthalocyanine components: benzene, pyrrole, and isoindole. From the electronic structure standpoint, phthalocyanine has to be viewed as formed by joining four benzene moieties to the central carbon–nitrogen ring rather than by combining four isoindole units through nitrogen bridges. Comparison of the VEH density‐of‐valence‐states curves with the experimental ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) data is quantitatively excellent and allows for a complete interpretation of the experimen…
