Abstract
We report non-adiabatic dynamics, performed in the surface hopping formalism, of 2-thienyl-3-hydroxychromone, an environment-dependent luminescent organic DNA probe. In particular we have shown that the first shell solvent water molecules undergo a rather complex reorganization upon light excitation. This involves also the triggering of a water-mediated proton transfer process which leads to the formation of the tautomeric structure. The presence of this solvent-mediated transfer mechanism globally diminishes the intersystem crossing efficiency, and hence the population of the triplet state manifold, as compared to the non-solvated systems. Our results also point out the non-innocent role of solvent networks in tuning complex photophysical processes, while opening competitive relaxation channels.
我们报告了一种环境依赖性发光有机 DNA 探针的非绝热动力学,该动力学是在表面跳变形式主义下进行的。我们特别展示了第一壳溶剂水分子在光激发时经历的相当复杂的重组过程。这其中还包括引发水介导的质子转移过程,从而形成同分异构结构。与非溶剂系统相比,这种溶剂介导的转移机制在整体上降低了系统间的交叉效率,从而减少了三重态流形的数量。我们的研究结果还指出了溶剂网络在调整复杂的光物理过程中的非无辜作用,同时还打开了竞争性的弛豫通道。
