Modeling solvation effects on absorption and fluorescence spectra of indole in aqueous solution

Abstract: Modeling the optical spectra of molecules in solution presents a challenge, so it is important to understand which of the solvation effects (i.e., electrostatics, mutual polarization, and hydrogen bonding interactions between solute and solvent molecules) are crucial in reproducing the various features of the absorption and fluorescence spectra and to identify a sufficient theoretical model that accurately captures these effects with minimal computational cost. In this study, we use various implicit and explic… Show more

“…While significantly more expensive, we can exactly treat for both mutual polarisation of the solute-solvent mixture, in addition to direct charge interactions. [11][12][13] Common quantum chemical practice dictates that the computation of excitation energies is governed by one of two methods: a state specific method or a linear response method. The former solves the nonlinear Schro ¨dinger equation for only the requested state, and calculates transition energies as differences of the total solute-solvent free energy.…”

“…For that reason, the FC approach cannot be used to model the spectrum of bound-to-continuum transitions. Ensemble methods are also likely more appropriate in systems where electronic states rather than vibrational levels are responsible for the spectral shapes [97].…”
