We report the formulation and implementation of an extended Frenkel exciton model (EFEM) designed for simulating dynamics multichromophoric systems, taking into account possible presence interchromophore charge transfer states, as well other states in which two chromophores are simultaneously excited. Our approach involves constructing a Hamiltonian based on calculations performed monomers selected dimers within aggregate. Nonadiabatic molecular is addressed using surface hopping approach, while electronic wave functions energies required EFEM computed utilizing semiempirical floating occupation orbitals-configuration interaction (FOMO-CI) structure method. To validate our we simulate singlet fission process trimer 2,5-bis(fluorene-9-ylidene)-2,5-dihydrothiophene (ThBF) molecules, embedded their crystal environment, comparing results to standard "supermolecule" approach.

This study investigates velocity adjustment directions after hopping in surface dynamics. Using fulvene and a protonated Schiff base (PSB4) as case studies, we investigate the population decay reaction yields of different sets dynamics with adjusted either nonadiabatic coupling, gradient difference, or momentum directions. For latter, addition to conventional algorithm, investigated performance reduced kinetic energy reservoir approach recently proposed. Our evaluation also considered approximate coupling vectors. While results for are susceptible approach, PSB4 is not. We correlated this dependence topography near conical intersections. When vectors unavailable, difference direction best option. If semiempirical vector becomes an excellent option prevent artificial excess back hoppings. The precise less crucial describing than reservoir's size.

The field of nonadiabatic dynamics has matured over the last decade with a range algorithms and electronic structure methods available at moment. While community currently focuses more on developing benchmarking new algorithms, underlying controls outcome simulations. Yet, electronic-structure sensitivity analysis is typically neglected. In this work, we present cyclopropanone to algorithms. particular, compare wave function-based CASSCF, FOMO-CASCI, MS- XMS-CASPT2, density-functional REKS, semiempirical MRCI-OM3 Landau-Zener surface hopping, fewest switches ab initio multiple spawning informed stochastic selection results clearly demonstrate that choice significantly influences accuracy for even when potential energy surfaces exhibit qualitative quantitative similarities. Thus, selecting solely basis mapping can be misleading. Conversely, observe no discernible differences in performance across various methods. Based above results, discuss present-day practice computational photodynamics.

This research examines the nonadiabatic dynamics of cyclobutanone after excitation into n → 3s Rydberg S2 state. It stems from our contribution to Special Topic Journal Chemical Physics test predictive capability computational chemistry against unseen experimental data. Decoherence-corrected fewest-switches surface hopping was used simulate with full and approximated couplings. Several simulation sets were computed different electronic structure methods, including a multiconfigurational wavefunction [multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF)] specially built describe dissociative channels, multireference semiempirical approach, time-dependent density functional theory, algebraic diagrammatic construction, coupled cluster. MCSCF predicts slow deactivation state (10 ps), followed by an ultrafast population transfer S1 S0 (<100 fs). CO elimination (C3 channel) dominates over C2H4 formation (C2 channel). These findings radically differ other which predicted lifetimes 10-250 times shorter C2 channel predominance. results suggest that routine methods may hold low power for outcome dynamics.

We tested the effect of different ways sampling initial conditions in surface hopping simulations, with a focus on energy distributions and treatment zero point (ZPE). As test case, we chose gas phase photodynamics azomethane, which features processes occurring overlapping time scales: geometry relaxation excited state, internal conversion, photoisomerization, fast slow dissociation. The based semiempirical method, had sufficiently long duration (10 ps) to encompass all above processes. several variants methods quantum mechanical (QM) nuclear coordinates q momenta p, yield, at least average over large set, correct QM energy, namely ZPE when starting from ground vibrational state. compared samplings classical Boltzmann (CB) distribution obtained by thermostated trajectory, whereby thermal effects are taken into account, but is utterly ignored. found that most CB approaches yield similar results as short dynamics decay lifetimes, whereas rate state dissociation reaction CH3NNCH3 → CH3NN + CH3 sharply affected method. With fraction trajectories dissociate promply (<1 after rates order 10-1 ps-1 first ps. Instead, much smaller prompt dissociations lower times. provided evidence "leaks" high frequency modes reactive ones (N-C bond elongations), therefore unphysically increasing samplings. show an effective way take account avoid "leaking" problem add potential surfaces function relevant coordinates. Then, can be done usual, so this approach suitable also for condensed dynamics. In tests present here, correction method yields intermediate between uncorrected

We reconsider recent methods by which direct dynamics calculations of electronically nonadiabatic processes can be carried out while requiring only adiabatic potential energies and their gradients. show that these understood in terms a new generalization the well-known semiclassical Ehrenfest method. This is convenient because it eliminates need to evaluate electronic wave functions matrix elements along mixed quantum-classical trajectories. The approximations procedures enabling this advance are curvature-driven approximation time-derivative coupling, generalized method, gradient correction scheme called (TDM) scheme. When spin–orbit coupling present, one carry fully basis using gradients calculated without plus elements. Even when neglected, method useful allows structure for vectors unavailable. In order place considerations context, article starts with review background material on trajectory surface hopping, scheme, incorporating decoherence. consider both internal conversion intersystem crossing. also several examples from our group successful applications approximation.

Computer simulation has long been an essential partner of ultrafast experiments, allowing the assignment microscopic mechanistic detail to low-dimensional spectroscopic data. However, ability theory make a priori predictions experimental results is relatively untested. Herein, as part community challenge, we attempt predict signal upcoming photochemical experiment using state-of-the-art in context preexisting Specifically, employ ab initio Ehrenfest with collapse block mixed quantum-classical simulations describe real-time evolution electrons and nuclei cyclobutanone following excitation 3s Rydberg state.

Following initial ring-opening, dissociation via two distinct channels observed: C3 channel, producing cyclopropane CO, C2 CH2CO C2H4. Direct calculations GUED indicate how ring-opened intermediate, products, products can be discriminated signal. We also report analysis anticipated errors our predictions: without knowledge result, which features spectrum do feel confident have predicted correctly, might wrong?
