研究目的
Investigating the effects of external stimuli on the photoisomerization of 4-styrylquinoline (SQ) using the Nonadiabatic EXcited-state Molecular Dynamics (NEXMD) software.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that NEXMD is an effective tool for investigating excited state single molecule dynamics under various environments and initial conditions. It shows that polarization effects due to implicit solvation and the thermostat significantly influence the isomerization process, while photoexcitation energy has a lesser impact. The research also confirms two distinct reaction pathways to the final product, varying by the number of photons absorbed, in agreement with experimental findings.
研究不足
The study is limited by the computational level of theory used, which may not accurately describe all aspects of the photoisomerization process, such as the S0/S1 conical intersection. Additionally, the implicit solvation model assumes equilibrated solute and solvent polarizations, which may not capture nonequilibrium effects.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses the NEXMD software for nonadiabatic excited-state molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the photoisomerization of SQ. The methodology includes ground state sampling, optical absorption spectra calculation, adiabatic dynamics on S1, analysis of NEXMD geometries, isomerization rate modeling, and high-energy photoexcitation nonadiabatic dynamics.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Ground state geometries of t-SQ, c-SQ, DHBP, and BP were optimized with the AM1 semiempirical Hamiltonian. Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics were performed on the ground state using AM1 with implicit solvation.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilizes computational tools and software, specifically the NEXMD software, for simulations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The workflow includes ground state sampling, optical absorption spectra calculation, adiabatic dynamics on S1, analysis of geometries, isomerization rate modeling, and nonadiabatic dynamics simulations.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis involves comparing theoretical and experimental absorption spectra, analyzing reaction pathways through Ramachandran diagrams, and modeling nonadiabatic transitions based on energy gaps.
