Structures and properties of the low-lying states in 4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) have been investigated theoretically. Calculations show that the dimethylamino and dimethylanilino twisted conformations of DCM on the potential energy surface of the first excited state ( S 1) have relatively high stabilities and remarkable intramolecular charge transfers (ICT). Both structures can serve as candidates for the red-shifted emissive state in polar solvent. In particular, the dimethylanilino twisted ICT state has been predicted to have a dipole moment increment of 20 Debye with respect to the ground state by CASSCF calculations, in good agreement with the suggested experimental values. The optimized geometry of the S 1 state exhibits a long central CC bond of 1.458 Å, which makes the trans–cis isomerization quite facile through intramolecular rotation around the central CC bond on the S 1 potential surface. The S 1 state is a precursor to the formation of the ICT emissive state and photoinduced trans–cis isomerization. The S 1/ S 0 crossing in polar solvent and avoid-crossing in the gas phase as well as in non-polar solvent are involved in the trans–cis isomerization process. The presence of an early S 1/ S 0 crossing in the strong polar solvent reduces the isomerization efficiency.

In the present study, first, the intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) process of juglone and its derivatives were theoretically investigated in the gas phase and the effect of electron-withdrawing and electronreleasing substituents in different positions of the phenyl and benzoquinone rings of juglone on the IPT process was studied in which the geometries, energies and thermodynamic functions of the compounds were obtained using DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(2d,p) level. Next, the influence of IPT on changing the aromaticity of the phenyl and benzoquinone rings was investigated. To determine the aromaticity of the rings, nuclear independent chemical shift (NICS) values were calculated for the ground state and transition state structures (GS1,TS,GS2) using the continues set of gauge transformations (CSGT) procedure at the B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level.
