We present condensed-phase first-principles molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the presence of different electron trapping sites in liquid methanol and their roles in the formation, electronic transitions, and relaxation of solvated electrons (e−met) in methanol. Excess electrons injected into liquid methanol are most likely trapped by methyl groups, but rapidly diffuse to more stable trapping sites with dangling OH bonds. After localization at the sites with one free OH bond (1OH trapping sites), reorientation of other methanol molecules increases the OH coordination number and the trap depth, and ultimately four OH bonds become coordinated with the excess electrons under thermal conditions. The simulation identified four distinct trapping states with different OH coordination numbers. The simulation results also revealed that electronic transitions of e−met are primarily due to charge transfer between electron trapping sites (cavities) formed by OH and methyl groups and that these transitions differ from hydrogenic electronic transitions involving aqueous solvated electrons (e−aq). Such charge transfer also explains the alkyl-chain-length dependence of the photoabsorption peak wavelength and the excited-state lifetime of solvated electrons in primary alcohols.

This study which carried out on some indicators including (Phenol red and Bromo phenol Blue). Different solvents were used including (Methanol, propanol, DMF and DMSO). The effect of solvents on the λ max and absorbance values were investigated. The results recorded that the λmax values were effected and changed according to the polarities of the applied solvents. Also, the obtained results showed changes in the absorbance values after applied solvents compared with the original absorbance values. Keywords: Bromophenol blue; Phenol red; Effect of solvents on electronic transitions

The on-surface synthesis of boroxine-containing molecules can be a convenient method of introducing specific functionalities. Here, we show the validity of a previously described synthesis protocol on the Au (111) surface by applying it to a different molecular precursor. We study in detail the assembly of the precursor, highlighting possible intermediate stages of the condensation process. We combine scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray spectroscopies to fully characterize both the morphology and the electronic properties of the system. DFT calculations are presented to assign the main electronic transitions originating the B K-edge absorption spectrum. The study paves the way to a facile strategy for functionalizing a surface with molecules of tailored sizes and compositions.

Abstract An advanced experimental and theoretical model to explain the correlation between the electronic and local structure of Eu2+ in two different environments within a same compound, EuS, is presented. EuX monochalcogenides (X: O, S, Se, Te) exhibit anomalies in all their properties around 14 GPa with a semiconductor to metal transition. Although it is known that these changes are related to the 4f75d0 → 4f65d1 electronic transition, no consistent model of the pressure-induced modifications of the electronic structure currently exists. We show, by optical and x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and by ab initio calculations up to 35 GPa, that the pressure evolution of the crystal field plays a major role in triggering the observed electronic transitions from semiconductor to the half-metal and finally to the metallic state.

The organic-inorganic interactions within the hybrid lattice of two-dimensional Ruddlesden-Popper metal halides(RPMH) have consequences on the structural and electronic properties of the material. Such interactions have been primarily investigated through a library of organic cations, keeping the inorganic lead halide lattice component intact. Here, we demonstrate that the role of the organic-inorganic interactions in electronic processes can also be effectively manipulated by the metal cation, particularly moving from heavier lead to lighter tin. We perform in-depth spectroscopic and theoretical analysis of prototypical tin-based RPMH, in which we identify the presence multiple resonances in the optical spectra, which correspond to distinct exciton series. We show that the higher energy excitonic series are composed of electronic transitions from a lower lying valence band which originates from variations in the coordination geometries of the metal halide octahedra induced by subtle changes in the organic-inorganic interactions. Our studies indicate that the deformation induced splitting of the carrier bands is ubiquitous to the Ruddlesden-Popper architectures, although the splitting energies are substantially higher in the tin based systems.
