    Abstract We present a large set of vertical excitation calculations for the ortho-nitrobenzaldehyde (oNBA) molecule, which exhibits a very challenging excited-state electronic structure like other nitroaromatic compounds. The single-reference methods produce mostly consistent results up to about 5.5 eV. By contrast, the CAS second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) results depend sensitively on the employed parameters. At the CAS self-consistent field level, the energies of the bright

    Abstract Understanding the protonation behavior of metal-oxo water oxidation catalysts is essential to improve catalyst efficiency and long-term performance, as well as to tune their properties for specific applications. In this work, we explore the basicity and protonation effects of the highly active water oxidation catalyst [(Mn4O4) (V4O13) (OAc)3]3- using density functional theory. We computed the relative free energies of protonation in a systematic fashion for all symmetry-inequivalent O atoms, where the presence of multiple oxidation states from Mn4IV to Mn4III and a rich Jahn-Teller isomerism adds a significant amount of complexity. For high oxidation states, the compound behaves like some other polyoxometalates, showing protonation preferably at the terminal and μ2-bridging O atoms of the vanadate cap. However, upon reduction, eventually, the protonation preference switches to the cubane O atoms, mostly driven by a strong increase in basicity for O atoms located along the Jahn-Teller axes. Our work further evidences that protonation can potentially lead to several chemical transformations, like disproportionation and charge transfer to vanadium, dissociation of ligands, or the opening of the cubane structure. Our simulated UV/Vis absorption spectra additionally provide valuable insights about how the protonation of the catalyst could be tracked experimentally. Overall, our analysis highlights the complexity involved in the protonation of heterometallic polyoxometalate clusters.

    Abstract Molecular motors, where light can be transformed into motion, are promising in the design of nanomechanical devices. For applications, however, finding relationships between molecular motion and the environment is important. Here, we report the study of excited-state dynamics of an overcrowded alkene in solution using a hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach combined with excited-state molecular dynamics simulations. Using QM/MM surface-hopping trajectories, we calculated time-resolved emission and transient absorption spectra. These show the rise of a short-lived Franck-Condon state, followed by the formation of a dark state in the first 150 fs before the molecular motor relaxes to the ground state in about 1 ps. From the analysis of radial distribution functions, we infer that the orientation of the solvent with respect to the molecular motor in the electronic excited state is similar to that in the ground state during the photoisomerization.

    Abstract We present a theoretical framework for a hybrid linear vibronic coupling model electrostatically embedded into a molecular mechanics environment, termed the linear vibronic coupling/molecular mechanics (LVC/MM) method, for the surface hopping including arbitrary coupling (SHARC) molecular dynamics package. Electrostatic embedding is realized through the computation of interactions between environment point charges and distributed multipole expansions (DMEs, up to quadrupoles) that represent each electronic state and transition densities in the diabatic basis. The DME parameters are obtained through a restrained electrostatic potential (RESP) fit, which we extended to yield higher-order multipoles. We also implemented in SHARC a scheme for achieving roto-translational invariance of LVC models as well as a general quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) interface, an OpenMM interface, and restraining potentials for simulating liquid droplets. Using thioformaldehyde in water as a test case, we demonstrate that LVC/MM can accurately reproduce the solvation structure and energetics of rigid solutes, with errors on the order of 1-2 kcal/mol compared to a BP86/MM reference. The implementation in SHARC is shown to be very efficient, enabling the simulation of trajectories on the nanosecond time scale in a matter of days.

    Abstract Photochemistry is a fascinating branch of chemistry that is concerned with molecules and light. However, the importance of simulating light-induced processes is reflected also in fields as diverse as biology, material science, and medicine. This Minireview highlights recent progress achieved in theoretical chemistry to calculate electronically excited states of molecules and simulate their photoinduced dynamics, with the aim of reaching experimental accuracy. We focus on emergent methods and give selected examples that illustrate the progress in recent years towards predicting complex electronic structures with strong correlation, calculations on large molecules, describing multichromophoric systems, and simulating non-adiabatic molecular dynamics over long time scales, for molecules in the gas phase or in complex biological environments.

    Abstract Nonadiabatic dynamics simulations of molecules with a large number of nuclear degrees of freedom become increasingly feasible, but there is still a need to extract from such simulations a small number of most important modes of nuclear motion, for example, to obtain general insight or to construct low-dimensional model potentials for further simulations. Standard techniques for this dimensionality reduction employ statistical methods that identify the modes that account for the largest variance in nuclear positions. However, large-amplitude motion is not necessarily a good proxy for the influence of a mode on the electronic wave function evolution. Hence, we report three analysis techniques aimed at extracting from surface hopping nonadiabatic dynamics simulations the vibrational modes that are most strongly affected by the electronic excitation and that most significantly affect the interaction of the electronic states. The first technique identifies coherent nuclear motion after excitation from the ratio between total variance and variance of the average trajectory. The second strategy employs linear regression to find normal modes that have a statistically significant effect on excitation energies, energy gaps, or wave function overlaps. The third approach uses time-frequency analysis to find normal modes, where the vibrational frequencies change during the dynamics simulation. All three techniques are applied to the case of surface hopping trajectories of [Re(CO)
