Abstract

Acetophenone has a rich photochemistry, which strongly depends on the absorbing state. For example, the excitation to the lowest singlet excited state (S1) leads to a triplet population with a phosphorescence quantum yield of one, while the excitation to S2 leads to photocleavage reactions. Here, we rationalize the photochemistry of acetophenone after being absorbed into the S1, S2 and S3 states by performing a systematic study of all the singlet and triplet minimum energy structures and state crossings between the relevant electronic states. We calculate these structures at the complete-active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) level of theory and at the correlated extended second-order quasi-degenerate multi-reference perturbation theory (XMCQDPT2), emphasizing the importance of correlation effects in the determination of structures.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
