AbstractThe solute–solvent interactions of 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalimide (4NNI) as a hydrogen bond acceptor in hydrogen donating methanol (MeOH) solvent in electronic excited states were investigated by means of the time-dependent density functional theory(TDDFT). We calculated the S0 state geometry optimizations, electronic transition energies and corresponding oscillation strengths of the low-lying electronically excited states for the isolated 4NNi and hydrogen-bonded 4NNi-(MeOH)1,4 complexes using the density functional theory (DFT) and TDDFT methods. The electronic excitation energies of the hydrogen-bonded complexes are correspondingly decreased compared to that of the isolated 4NNi, which revealed that the intermolecular hydrogen bond C=O···H–O and N=O···H–O in the hydrogen-bonded 4NNi-(MeOH)1,4 are strengthened in the electronically excited state. The calculated results are consistent with the mechanism that hydrogen bond strengthening will induce a redshift of the corresponding electronic spectra, while hydrogen bond weakening will cause a blueshift. Furthermore, we believe that the deduction we used to depict the trend of the hydrogen bond changes in excited states exists in many other fuorescent dyes in solution.

The Schiff base enaminones (3Z)-4-(5-ethylsulfonyl-2-hydroxyanilino)pent-3-en-2-one, C13H17NO4S, (I), and (3Z)-4-(5-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyanilino)pent-3-en-2-one, C15H21NO2, (II), were studied by X-ray crystallography and density functional theory (DFT). Although the keto tautomer of these compounds is dominant, the O=C—C=C—N bond lengths are consistent with some electron delocalization and partial enol character. Both (I) and (II) are nonplanar, with the amino–phenol group canted relative to the rest of the molecule; the twist about the N(enamine)—C(aryl) bond leads to dihedral angles of 40.5 (2) and −116.7 (1)° for (I) and (II), respectively. Compound (I) has a bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond between the N—H group and the flanking carbonyl and hydroxy O atoms, as well as an intermolecular hydrogen bond, leading to an infinite one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain. Compound (II) has one intramolecular hydrogen bond and one intermolecular C=O...H—O hydrogen bond, and consequently also forms a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain. The DFT-calculated structures [in vacuo, B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level] for the keto tautomers compare favourably with the X-ray crystal structures of (I) and (II), confirming the dominance of the keto tautomer. The simulations indicate that the keto tautomers are 20.55 and 18.86 kJ mol−1lower in energy than the enol tautomers for (I) and (II), respectively.

AbstractThe time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method was performed to investigate the hydrogenbonding dynamics of methyl cyanide (MeNC) as hydrogen bond acceptor in hydrogen donating methanol (MeOH) solvent. The ground-state geometry optimizations and electronic transition energies and corresponding oscillation strengths of the low-lying electronically excited states for the isolated MeNC and MeOH monomers, the hydrogen-bonded MeNC-MeOH dimer and MeNC-2MeOH trimer are calculated by the DFT and TDDFT methods, respectively. An intermolecular hydrogen bond N≡C…H-O is formed between MeNC and methanol molecule. According to Zhao’s rule on the excited-state hydrogen bonding dynamics, we find the intermolecular hydrogen bonds N≡C…H-O are strengthened in electronically excited states of the hydrogen-bonded MeNC-MeOH dimer and MeNC-2MeOH trimer, with the excitation energy of a related excited state being lowered and electronic spectral redshifts being induced. Furthermore, the hydrogen bond strengthening in the electronically excited state plays an important role on the photophysics and photochemistry of MeNC in solutions

The conformations of the title compounds were determined in solution (NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy) and in the solid state (FT-IR and XRD), complemented with density functional theory (DFT) in the gas phase. The nonequivalence of the amide protons of these compounds due to the hindered rotation of the C(O)–NH2 single bond resulted in two distinct resonances of different chemical shift values in the aromatic region of their 1H-NMR spectra. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between the carbonyl oxygen and the sulfonamide hydrogen atom were observed in the solution phase and solid state. XRD confirmed the ability of the amide moiety of this class of compounds to function as a hydrogen bond acceptor to form a six-membered hydrogen bonded ring and a donor simultaneously to form intermolecular hydrogen bonded complexes of the type N–H···O=S. The distorted tetrahedral geometry of the sulfur atom resulted in a deviation of the sulfonamide moiety from co-planarity of the anthranilamide scaffold, and this geometry enabled oxygen atoms to form hydrogen bonds in higher dimensions.

We investigated the electron configurations that are dominant in excited states of molecules in time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). By taking advantage of the discussion on off-diagonal elements in the TDDFT response matrix (Appel et al., Phys Rev Lett, 90, 043005, 2003), we can pick up electron transitions that contribute to an excitation of interest by making use of the diagonal elements of the TDDFT matrix. We can obtain approximate excitation energies by calculating a TDDFT submatrix, which is contracted for a list of collected transitions. This contracted TDDFT was applied to the calculation of excitation energies of the CO molecule adsorbing Pt 10 cluster and some prototype small molecules. Calculated results showed that a TDDFT excitation energy is dominated by a few electron configurations, unless severe degeneracy is involved.
