Abstract
The twisted intramolecular charge transfer has been proposed for a number of years and widely accepted to explain the excited-state dynamics of organic molecules. Recently, a new state termed as "twisted and rehybridized intramolecular charge transfer" has been proposed to explain the excited-state dynamics of an aniline-triazine electron donor-acceptor dyad with an alkyne spacer based on ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy. However, the change of the geometries along the excited-state decay pathway remains unknown. In this study, by optimization of the excited-state geometry of the donor-acceptor dyad and potential energy surface scan along the twisting angle, we successfully reproduce the experimentally observed band in time-resolved infrared absorption spectroscopy. Our calculation results demonstrated that the rehybridization process is not involved and only the twisted intramolecular charge transfer state is formed. Moreover, we located a minimum energy conical intersection between the ground and first excited-state of the donor-acceptor dyad, which is easily reached and corresponding to the primary nonradiative decay pathway of the donor-acceptor dyad. The energy of minimum energy conical intersection is solvent-dependent and consistent with the experimentally observed solvent-dependent lifetime of excited state.
