Abstract

In this study, we have modelled, through a theoretical–computational approach based on classical molecular dynamics simulations and quantum-chemical calculations, the complete relaxation process of a photo-excited ionic stilbene-like compound termed as DASPMI in solution. Starting from the absorption spectrum we have reconstructed the entire process of the excited-state relaxation involving the intramolecular charge-transfer and eventually leading to the charge-recombination regenerating the ground state. The results obtained, well reproducing the experimental time-resolved emission spectra and kinetic observables, show that the relaxation process is essentially driven by the internal conformational transitions of the chromophore with the solvent almost instantaneously relaxed for each chromophore conformation. This study represents the first attempt, carried out using our theoretical–computational approach, of modelling a complete experiment involving the overposition of relaxation kinetics ranging from hundreds of femtoseconds to nanoseconds on the time scale.

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.
