A Qualitative Index of Spatial Extent in Charge-Transfer Excitations

Le Bahers, Tangui, Adamo, Carlo, Ciofini, Ilaria·2011·Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

Abstract

With the aim of defining the spatial extent associated to an electronic transition, of particular relevance in the case of charge-transfer (CT) excitations, a new index, evaluated only from the computed density for the ground and excited state, is here derived and tested on a family of molecules that can be considered as prototypes of push-pull chromophores.The index (DCT) allows to define the spatial extent associated to a given transition as well as the associated fraction of electron transferred. By definition of centroids of charges associated to the density increase and depletion zones upon excitation, a qualitative and easy to visualize measure of the spatial extent of the donor and the acceptor moieties within a given molecular system is also given. Finally, an index (t) allowing to define the presence eventually pathologic CT transitions for time-dependent density functional theory treatment in conjunction with standard generalized gradient approximation or hybrid functional, that is through space CT, is disclosed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
