Trajectory on‐the‐fly molecular dynamics approach to tunneling splitting in the electronic excited state: A case of tropolone

Abstract

The semiclassical tunneling method is applied to evaluate the tunneling splitting of tropolone due to the intramolecular proton transfer in the electronic excited state, first time, in a framework of the trajectory on-the-fly molecular dynamics (TOF-MD) approach. To prevent unphysical zero-point vibrational energy transfer among the normal modes of vibration, quantum zero-point vibrational energies are assigned only to the vibrational modes related to intramolecular proton transfer, whereas the remaining modes are treated as bath modes. Practical ways to determine the tunnelinitiating points and tunneling path are introduced. It is shown that the tunneling splitting decreases as the bath-mode energy increases. The experimental tunneling splitting value is well reproduced by the present TOF-MD approach based on the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation.

Application of Internet of Things Based on Wireless Sensor in Tunnel Construction Monitoring

“…The remote real-time monitoring system of dangerous road displacement (deformation) based on sensor is mainly composed of onsite monitoring and data acquisition system, main control computer system, and application terminal system. Through the remote real-time monitoring system, we can timely and accurately grasp the changes of the geometric shape and position of the subway dangerous road structure and judge the safety of the subway dangerous road structure in time [4]. Liu and others applied the automatic real-time monitoring system to the Yanda section of the east extension section of Shenzhen Metro Line 2 crossing the Dake section of Metro Line 1, carried out the dynamic monitoring of the subway, implemented the information construction, continuously optimized the design, improved the construction technology, effectively prevented or reduced the occurrence of various accidents, and promoted the smooth progress of the project [5].…”

Theoretical Study of Proton Tunneling in the Imidazole–Imidazolium Complex

“…Infrared (IR) spectroscopy can provide key information on the tunneling dynamics and influence of vibrational couplings in a hydrogen-bonded complex on this process. In the last years there appeared several theoretical studies of proton tunneling in different systems, − as well as experimental ones. − …”
