Towards the assignment of the REMPI spectrum of Ph2O using CIS and TD-DFT methods

Abstract: Tentative assignment of the low-lying vibrational features of the first electronic excited singlet-state S 1 of diphenyl ether (Ph 2 O), obtained from resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) spectroscopy, is performed using CIS and timedependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. The potential energy surfaces, regarding the rotation of the phenyl rings relatively to the C-O-C plane, are obtained at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory, for the ground-state of neutral and cationic Ph 2 O and fo… Show more

“…Indications of this have been reported before using different spectroscopic techniques, such as resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization and NMR spectroscopy as well as quantum-chemical computations. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] However, once the molecule is complexed with another molecular species, internal dynamics are often not observed anymore, as in the case of DPE-CH 3 OH, DPE-tBuOH, DPE-adamantol, and also the DPE dimer. 22 The reason is two-fold: in many cases the complexing molecules sterically hinder and thus "lock" the structure of the flexible molecule to a certain conformation, but a more general reason is that the symmetry is often broken upon complexation.…”

“…The PES of DPE was computed previously. 13,15,17,18,21 It was recomputed here to generate the respective structures for the internal dynamics analysis. Our new PES is given in Figure 1(a).…”

“…Therefore, a microscopic understanding of the docking preferences of alcohols to DPE may eventually be beneficial for solvent design in catalysis. DPE in the gas phase was spectroscopically investigated previously using resonance-enhanced multi-photon ionization, 19,20 but a detailed understanding of its conformational flexibility and rich internal dynamics is still missing and will be tackled in a separate study. DPE provides a number of plausible binding sites and pathways for methanol, and it is the aim of the present study to elucidate what type of bonding is most preferred and why.…”
