In this paper we describe in detail a general and efficient methodology, based on the perturbed matrix method and molecular dynamics simulations, to model UV-Vis absorption and emission spectra including vibrational and conformational effects. The basic approximation used is to consider all the chromophore atomic coordinates as semiclassical degrees of freedom, hence allowing the calculation of the complete spectral signal by using the electronic vertical transitions as obtained at each possible chromophore configuration, thus including the contributions of vibrations and conformational transitions into the spectrum. As shown for the model system utilized in this paper, solvated 1-phenyl-naphthalene, such an approximation can be rather accurate to reproduce the absorption and emission spectral line shape and properties when, as it often occurs, the vertical vibronic transition largely overlaps the other non-negligible vibronic transitions.

Abstract
In this paper we describe in detail a general and efficient methodology, based on the perturbed matrix method and molecular dynamics simulations, to model UV-Vis absorption and emission spectra including vibrational and conformational effects. The basic approximation used is to consider all the chromophore atomic coordinates as semiclassical degrees of freedom, hence allowing the calculation of the complete spectral signal by using the electronic vertical transitions as obtained at each possible chromophore configuration, thus including the contributions of vibrations and conformational transitions into the spectrum. As shown for the model system utilized in this paper, solvated 1-phenyl-naphthalene, such an approximation can be rather accurate to reproduce the absorption and emission spectral line shape and properties when, as it often occurs, the vertical vibronic transition largely overlaps the other non-negligible vibronic transitions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
