Properties of atoms in electronically excited molecules within the formalism of TDDFT

Abstract: The topological analysis of the electron density for electronic excited states under the formalism of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is presented. Relaxed electron densities for electronic excited states are computed by solving a Z-vector equation which is obtained by means of the Sternheimer interchange method. This is in contrast to previous work in which the electron density for excited states is obtained using DFT instead of TDDFT, that is, t… Show more

“…measure of the mean electronegativity of the system along the part of the reaction profile between the cis isomer and the conical intersection. In other words, r is the resistance to the transfer of electrons within the atoms in a molecule occurring with the change of electron configuration, and it reflects the process of removal and insertion of electron density in different parts of the molecule, which can be related to ionization potentials and electron affinities [27]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…5,27 We investigated the reactivity in the ground and the first singlet excited states of SA by means of the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM). 28 The nature of the transferred species in the ESIPT of SA was examined through the Laplacian of the electron density, ∇ 2 ρ(r), in both S 0 and S 1 electronic states. We decided to use quantum chemical topology (QCT) techniques because they have proven to offer valuable insights about photophysical 28 and photochemical 29 processes.…”

“…28 The nature of the transferred species in the ESIPT of SA was examined through the Laplacian of the electron density, ∇ 2 ρ(r), in both S 0 and S 1 electronic states. We decided to use quantum chemical topology (QCT) techniques because they have proven to offer valuable insights about photophysical 28 and photochemical 29 processes. In addition, QCT methods are particularly suitable for this investigation because electronically excited states have bond orders and other descriptors of the electronic structure of a molecule drastically altered in comparison with those in the electronic ground state.…”
