Nonadiabatic dynamics simulations have become a standard approach to explore photochemical reactions. Such require underlying potential energy surfaces and couplings between them, calculated at chosen level of theory, yet this aspect is rarely assessed. Here, in combination with the popular trajectory surface hopping method, we use high-accuracy XMS-CASPT2 electronic structure as benchmark for assessing performances various post-Hartree–Fock methods (namely, CIS, ADC(2), CC2, CASSCF) exchange–correlation functionals (PBE, PBE0, CAM-B3LYP) TD-DFT/TDA context, using isomerization around double bond test case. Different relaxation pathways are identified, ability different reproduce their relative importance time scale discussed. The results show that multireference should be preferred, when studying nonadiabatic decay excited ground states. If not affordable, TD-DFT TDA hybrid ADC(2) efficient alternatives but overestimate nonradiative yield thus may miss deexcitation pathways.

Inspired by human vision, a diverse range of light-driven molecular switches and motors have been developed for fundamental understanding application in material science biology. Recently, the design synthesis visible actively pursued. This emerging trend is partly motivated to avoid harmful effects ultraviolet light, which was necessary drive classical at least one direction, impeding their employment biomedical photopharmacology applications. Moreover, are demonstrated enable benign optical materials advanced photonic devices. Therefore, during past several years, based on azobenzene derivatives, diarylethenes, 1,2-dicyanodithienylethenes, hemithioindigo iminothioindoxyls, donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts, overcrowded alkene judiciously designed, synthesized, used development functional systems wide In this Review, we present recent developments toward motors, with applications fabrication science, bioscience, pharmacology, etc. The realized so far undoubtedly widen scope these interesting compounds technological biological We hope Review article could provide additional impetus inspire further research interests future exploration materials, systems,

Abstract Natural molecular machines require a continuous fuel supply to perform motions and/or remain in functional state. Consequently, the aim of developing artificial devices and materials with life‐type properties has motivated growing interest abiotic chemical fuels their modalities. Many have been developed which sequential addition several reagents allows machine complete cycles motion. Only recently, examples whose motion are triggered by single pulse reported. The latter systems object this Minireview where used so far trigger described, particular emphasis on operation mechanism machine/fuel systems.
