Optical absorption spectra of 1,2-naphthoquinone in non-polar (n-hexane) and polar (water) solvents were obtained. It is shown that the use of quantum chemical calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p)) with the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for calculating 1,2-naphthoquinone in a solution of n-hexane and hydrogen complex of 1,2-naphthoquinone with two water molecules in an aqueous medium describes well the shifts of the absorption bands of 1,2-naphthoquinone in a water solution compared to a solution in n-hexane. Based on the analysis of deviations of the calculated band shifts from the experimental ones, the question of the formation of 1,2-naphthoquinone hydrogen complexes with n water molecules (n = 1-4) in an aqueous solution is considered.

Polarizable Continuum

Glycine conformers were investigated with three density functional theory (DFT) methods (B3LYP, PBE1PBE, X3LYP), and the second order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) combined with basis sets of 6-31+G*, aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ. Solvation effects were considered by using polarizable continuum model. Results from B3LYP and X3LYP were in generally good agreement with those of MP2, while PBE1PBE was shown to be inferior for the description of conformational potential energy surfaces. Conformers Ip, IIp, IIn, IIIp, IIIn, and IVn were all found to be low-lying states within 2.0 kcal/mol, with Ip being the global minimum in gas phase. Solvation effects can significantly change the nature of the conformational surfaces of glycine. A proper description of conformational equilibrium demands for a good treatment of both long-range and short-range solute–solvent interactions.

In this study, excited-state free energies and geometries were efficiently evaluated using a linear-response time-dependent long-range corrected density-functional tight-binding method integrated with the polarizable continuum model (TD-LC-DFTB/PCM). Although the LC-DFTB method required the evaluation of the exchange-type term, which was moderately computationally expensive, a single evaluation of the excited-state gradient for a system consisting of more than 1000 atoms in a vacuum was completed within 30 minutes using one CPU core. Benchmark calculations were conducted for 3-hydroxy avone, which exhibits dual emission: the absorption and enol-form emission wavelengths calculated by TD-LC-DFTB/PCM agreed well with those predicted based on density functional theory using a long-range corrected functional; however, there was a large error in the predicted keto-form emission wavelength. Further benchmark calculations for more than 20 molecules indicated that the conventional TD-DFTB method underestimated the absorption and 0-0 transition energies compared with those which were measured experimentally while the TD-LC-DFTB method systematically overestimated these metrics. Nevertheless, the agreement of the results of the TD-LC-DFTB method with those obtained by the CAM-B3LYP method demonstrates the potential of the TD-LC-DFTB/PCM method. Moreover, changing the range-separation parameter to 0.15 minimized this deviation.<br>
