Ab initio surface-hopping dynamics calculations have been performed to simulate the intramolecular excited state hydrogen transfer dynamics of ortho-nitrobenzaldehyde (o-NBA) in the gas phase from the electronic S-1 excited state. Upon UV excitation, the hydrogen is transferred from the aldehyde substituent to the nitro group, generating o-nitrosobenzoic acid through a ketene intermediate. The semiclassical propagations show that the deactivation from the S-1 is ultrafast, in agreement with the experimental measurements, which detect the ketene in less than 400 fs. The trajectories show that the deactivation mechanism involves two different conical intersections. The first one, a planar configuration with the hydrogen partially transferred, is responsible for the branching between the formation of a biradical intermediate and the regeneration of the starting material. The conversion of the biradical to the ketene corresponds to the passage through a second intersection region in which the ketene group is formed.

Javier Ortin-Fernandez, Naishka E. Caldero-Rodriguez, Carlos E. Crespo-Hernandez, Lara Martinez-Fernandez, Ines Corral

Summary: Scientists are investigating the survival and evolution of organic molecules under prebiotic UV fluxes to understand the formation of genetic building blocks. This study provides new insights into the photophysical properties of protonated isoguanine, a guanine isomorph, shedding light on its stability and excited state dynamics. The results show that protonated isoguanine is photostable and decays rapidly, while protonated guanine has much longer excited state lifetimes.

Reply to the `Comment on The oxidation state in low-valent beryllium and magnesium compounds' by S. Pan and G. Frenking, Chem. Sci., 2022, 13, DOI: 10.1039/D2SC04231B

Marti Gimferrer, Sergi Danes, Eva Vos, Cem B. Yildiz, Ines Corral, Anukul Jana, Pedro Salvador, Diego M. Andrada

Summary: In a recent article, Pan and Frenking challenged our assignment of the oxidation state of low valent group 2 compounds. In our reply, we demonstrate that our assignment of Be(+2) and Mg(+2) oxidation states in Be(cAAC(Dip))(2) and Mg(cAAC(Dip))(2) is consistent with our data and provide numerical proof to refute some of the arguments made by Pan and Frenking. We also argue that indicators based on natural orbitals for chemical valence (NOCV) are more reliable than the criterion of the lowest orbital interaction energy in the energy decomposition analysis (EDA) method.

Curved Nanographenes: Multiple Emission, Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence, and Non-Radiative Decay

Sergio Ramirez-Barroso, Fernando Romeo-Gella, Jesus M. Fernandez-Garcia, Siyang Feng, Lara Martinez-Fernandez, David Garcia-Fresnadillo, Ines Corral, Nazario Martin, Reinhold Wannemacher

Summary: The photophysical properties of three curved nanographenes (CNG 6, 7, and 8) are investigated using time-resolved and temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy. Dual fluorescence and phosphorescence are observed in CNG 7 and 8 at low temperatures. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is observed in a narrow temperature range, and non-Kasha behavior is observed due to the optimization of higher-lying S-2 minimum. The presence of higher-lying dark triplet states provides mechanistic evidence for the observed TADF phenomena.

Efficient Reverse Intersystem Crossing in Carbene-Copper-Amide TADF Emitters via an Intermediate Triplet State

J. Patrick Zobel, Anna M. Wernbacher, Leticia Gonzalez

Summary: The mechanism of reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) in metal-based TADF emitters is still not clear, as the small singlet/triplet energy gaps necessary for thermal rISC in donor-acceptor systems with charge-transfer excited states have spin-orbit couplings that are too small for effective rISC. In this study, the first nonadiabatic dynamics simulation of rISC process in a carbene-copper(I)-carbazolyl TADF emitter is reported. Efficient rISC on a picosecond time scale is demonstrated, involving an intermediate higher-lying triplet state of metal-to-ligand charge transfer character ((MLCT)-M-3) that enables large spin-orbit couplings with the lowest singlet charge transfer state. The mechanism is completed in the S-1 state where the complex can return to a co-planar coordination geometry with high fluorescence efficiency.

Unveiling Photodegradation and Photosensitization Mechanisms of Unconjugated Pterins

Enrique M. Arpa, Ines Corral

Summary: Unconjugated pterins are widely present and have various enzymatic functions, potentially participating in singlet oxygen, amino acid, and nucleotide photosensitization. Under UV-A light excitation, some of these pterins degrade, leading to hydrogen peroxide production. This process, occurring in vivo, contributes to oxidative stress and melanocyte destruction in vitiligo. Our study provides mechanistic insights into the formation of transient triplet species that trigger Type I and Type II photosensitizing processes and degradation. Through calculations, we demonstrate that 6-biopterin degradation in vitiligo patients' skin produces 6-formylpterin and subsequently 6-carboxypterin. The changes in photosensitizing potential with pH are attributed to modulation of excited-state redox potentials.

Photoionization of the water molecule with XCHEM

P. Fernandez-Milan, V. J. Borras, J. Gonzalez-Vazquez, F. Martin

Summary: We used the XCHEM methodology to evaluate total and partial photoionization cross sections, b asymmetry parameters, and molecular frame photoelectron angular distributions (MFPADs) of water molecule. This method considers electron correlation in the electronic continuum, which is crucial for describing Feshbach resonances and their autoionization decay. We identified a large number of Feshbach resonances, including some previously unknown ones, in the energy range of 12.2 to 18.7 eV, and provided their energy positions and widths. These resonances lead to pronounced peaks in the photoionization spectra, some of them remarkably wide (up to 0.2 eV), which should be observable in high-energy resolution experiments. We also showed that asymmetry parameters and MFPADs vary rapidly with photoelectron energy near these peaks, reflecting the interference between direct ionization and autoionization driven by electron correlation, similar to atoms and simpler molecules.

Xueqing Wang, Lilia Kinziabulatova, Marco Bortoli, Anju Manickoth, Marisa A. Barilla, Haiyan Huang, Lluis Blancafort, Bern Kohler, Jean-Philip Lumb

Summary: Melanins are biopolymers produced from phenols and catechols that provide various functions such as photoprotection, pigmentation, and redox activity. The chemical structures of melanins remain unknown, hindering the design of synthetic materials with specific properties. However, the stabilization of indole-5,6-quinone (IQ) derivatives has allowed the exploration of eumelanin's unique electronic and optical properties, which can contribute to the development of melanin-inspired materials.

Attosecond photoionization delays in the vicinity of molecular Feshbach resonances

Vicent J. Borras, Jesus Gonzalez-Vazquez, Luca Argenti, Fernando Martin

Summary: Temporal delays extracted from photoionization phases can be determined with attosecond resolution using interferometric methods. However, when photoionization occurs near Feshbach resonances, interference between direct ionization and autoionization poses challenges. In this study, a theoretical framework is presented to account for the electronic and nuclear motion coupling during autoionization in molecules, and it is applied to evaluate time-resolved and vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra and photoionization phases of N2 under XUV and infrared pulses. Feshbach resonances are found to cause non-Franck-Condon vibrational progressions and photoionization phases that vary with photoelectron energy irrespective of the vibrational state of the remaining molecular cation.

Multiple Triplet Metal-Centered Jahn-Teller Isomers Determine Temperature-Dependent Luminescence Lifetimes in [Ru(bpy)3]2+

David Hernandez-Castillo, Roland E. P. Nau, Marie-Ann Schmid, Stefanie Tschierlei, Sven Rau, Leticia Gonzalez

Summary: Understanding the factors that determine the luminescence lifetime of transition metal compounds is crucial for applications in photocatalysis and photodynamic therapy. This study challenges the commonly accepted idea that emission lifetimes can be controlled by optimizing the energy barrier or gap between different excited states. Instead, an extended kinetic model that considers all the pathways related to multiple isomers is found to accurately predict temperature-dependent emission lifetimes.

Julia Arnanz, Fernando Romeo-Gella, Juan J. Nogueira, Ines Corral

Summary: The design of novel chromophores with specific photophysical traits is crucial for the development of new dyes and optical devices. Azobenzene derivatives, as the main industrial dyes, are widely used in the design of general-purpose photoactivated switches. In this study, we investigated the optical and photoisomerization properties of two push-push azo derivatives from a theoretical perspective, providing insights for formulating dyes with specific photophysical properties. Both derivatives showed fast photoactivated isomerization with downhill excited-state potential energy surfaces. The trans and cis forms exhibited nearly complementary absorption spectra, offering discriminatory color and differential excitation possibilities.

Effect of the shot-to-shot variation on charge migration induced by sub-fs x-ray free-electron laser pulses

Gilbert Grell, Zhaoheng Guo, Taran Driver, Piero Decleva, Etienne Plesiat, Antonio Picon, Jesus Gonzalez-Vazquez, Peter Walter, Jonathan P. Marangos, James P. Cryan, Agostino Marinelli, Alicia Palacios, Fernando Martin

Summary: X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) can provide tunable intense sub-fs pulses in the soft x-ray regime, allowing for time-resolved investigations of attosecond charge migration in molecules. The shot-to-shot variation of XFEL pulses may degrade the observable features, but our calculations show that this variation is negligible compared to the natural damping of the initial molecular geometry. This result provides confidence in the use of XFEL sub-fs pulses for measuring charge migration and other ultrafast charge dynamics.

Summary: We have developed a method for enabling photochemical reactions in water using biomimetic, water-soluble liposomes and a specially functionalized perylene diimide chromophore. Our findings provide design principles for the functionalization of lipid bilayer membranes, which will be important for the molecular engineering of artificial cellular organelles and nano-reactors based on biomimetic vesicles and membranes. The results show that the reaction rate in the DOPG-membrane is slower compared to the acetonitrile-water reaction conditions.

Insights into the multi-functional lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate additive in boosting the Li-ion reaction kinetics for Li3VO4 anodes

Miaomiao Zhang, Cunyuan Pei, Qiqi Xiang, Lintao Liu, Zhongxu Dai, Huijuan Ma, Shibing Ni

Summary: The design of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a crucial role in improving the electrochemical performance of anode materials. In this study, lithium difluoro(oxalate)borate (LiDFOB) is used as an electrolyte additive to form a protective SEI film on Li3VO4 (LVO) anodes. The addition of LiDFOB results in a dense, uniform, stable, and LiF-richer SEI, which enhances the Li-ion storage kinetics. The generated SEI also prevents further decomposition of the electrolyte and maintains the morphology of LVO anodes during charge/discharge processes. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of LiDFOB as a multi-functional additive for LiPF6 electrolytes and provides insights into SEI construction for high-performance LVO anodes.

ClO-driven degradation of graphene oxide: new insights from DFT calculations

S. L. Romo-Avila, D. Marquez-Ruiz, R. A. Guirado-Lopez

Summary: In this study, we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the interaction between model graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures and chlorine monoxide ClO. We aimed to understand the role of this highly oxidizing species in breaking C-C bonds and forming significant holes on GO sheets. Our results showed that C-C bonds in a single graphene oxide sheet can be broken through a simple mechanism involving the dissociation of two chemically attached ClO molecules. The formation of carbonyl groups and holes on the GO surface was also observed. This study provides important insights into the degradation of carbon nanotubes and the stability of GO during the myeloperoxidase (MPO) catalytic cycle.

Composition dependence of X-ray stability and degradation mechanisms at lead halide perovskite single crystal surfaces

Alberto Garcia-Fernandez, Birgit Kammlander, Stefania Riva, Hakan Rensmo, Ute B. Cappel

Summary: In this study, the X-ray stability of five different lead halide perovskite compositions (MAPbI3, MAPbCl3, MAPbBr3, FAPbBr3, CsPbBr3) was investigated using photoelectron spectroscopy. Different degradation mechanisms and resistance to X-ray were observed depending on the crystal composition. Overall, perovskite compositions based on the MA+ cation were found to be less stable than those based on FA+ or Cs+. Metallic lead formation was most easily observed in the chloride perovskite, followed by bromide, and very little in MAPbI3. Multiple degradation processes were identified for the bromide compositions, including ion migration, formation of volatile and solid products, as well as metallic lead. CsBr was formed as a solid degradation product on the surface of CsPbBr3.
