Benchmark computations of nearly degenerate singlet and triplet states of N-heterocyclic chromophores. I. Wavefunction-based methods.

In this paper, we investigate the role of electron correlation in predicting the S1-S0 and T1-S0 excitation energies and, hence, the singlet-triplet gap (ΔEST) in a set of cyclazines, which act as templates for potential candidates for fifth generation organic light emitting diode materials. This issue has recently garnered much interest with the focus being on the inversion of the ΔEST, although experiments have indicated near degenerate levels with both positive and negative being within the experimental error bar [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102, 6068 (1980), J. Am. Chem. Soc. 108, 17(1986)]. We have carried out a systematic and exhaustive study of various excited state electronic structure methodologies and identified the strengths and shortcomings of the various approaches and approximations in view of this challenging case. We have found that near degeneracy can be achieved either with a proper balance of static and dynamic correlation in multireference theories or with state-specific orbital corrections, including its coupling with correlation. The role of spin contamination is also discussed. Eventually, this paper seeks to produce benchmark numbers for establishing cost-effective theories, which can then be used for screening derivatives of these templates with desirable optical and structural properties. Additionally, we would like to point out that the use of domain-based local pair natural orbital-similarity transformed EOM-coupled cluster singles and doubles as the benchmark for ΔEST [as used in J. Phys. Chem. A 126(8), 1378 (2022), Chem. Phys. Lett. 779, 138827 (2021)] is not a suitable benchmark for these classes of molecules.

Rational Design of Crystalline and Enantiomerically Pure Helicenes with Open‐Shell Singlet Ground States

AbstractHelicene diradical derivatives have attracted widespread attentions because of their unique magnetic and chiroptoelectronic properties, however, crystalline and enantiomerically pure forms of helicene diradicals are extremely rare. Herein, we describe the rational design and synthesis of o‐quinone functionalized helicene diradicals with crystalline enantiomerical purity. Diradical dianion salt Rac‐3K and its enantiomers P/M‐3K were obtained by reduction of corresponding precursors Rac‐3 and P/M‐3 with two equivalent potassium graphite in THF in the presence of (di)benzo‐18‐crown‐6. Neutral dioxoborocyclic helicene diradicals (Rac‐3B and P/M‐3B) were produced by reactions of Rac‐3 or P/M‐3 with chlorobis(perfluorophenyl)borane (B(C6F5)2Cl. Crystal structures of compounds Rac‐3K, Rac‐3B and P/M‐3K were obtained by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Their open‐shell singlet state ground states were confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurements and theoretical calculations. Their chiroptical properties were investigated by the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy. This work provides the first examples of enantiopure helicene diradical dianions and boron‐containing helicene diradicals.

Visualizing Triplet Energy Transfer in Organic Near-Infrared Phosphorescent Host-Guest Materials.

Limited by the energy gap law, purely organic materials with efficient near-infrared room temperature phosphorescence are rare and difficult to achieve. Additionally, the exciton transition process among different emitting species in host-guest phosphorescent materials remains elusive, presenting a significant academic challenge. Herein, using a modular nonbonding orbital-π bridge-nonbonding orbital (n-π-n) molecular design strategy, we develop a series of heavy atom-free phosphors. Systematic modification of the π-conjugated cores enables the construction of a library with tunable near-infrared phosphorescence from 655 to 710 nm. These phosphors exhibit excellent performance under ambient conditions when dispersed into a 4-bromobenzophenone host matrix, achieving an extended lifetime of 11.25 ms and a maximum phosphorescence efficiency of 4.2 %. Notably, by eliminating the interference from host phosphorescence, the exciton transition process in hybrid materials can be visualized under various excitation conditions. Spectroscopic analysis reveals that the improved phosphorescent performance of the guest originates from the triplet-triplet energy transfer of abundant triplet excitons generated independently by the host, rather than from enhanced intersystem crossing efficiency between the guest singlet state and the host triplet state. The findings provide in-depth insights into constructing novel near-infrared phosphors and exploring emission mechanisms of host-guest materials.

Covariant Representation of Spin and Entanglement—A Review and Reformulation

A consistent theory of quantum entanglement requires that constituent single-particle states belong to the same Hilbert space, the coherent eigenstates of a complete set of operators in a given representation, defined with respect to a shared continuous parameterization. Formulating such eigenstates for a single relativistic particle with spin, and applying them to the description of many-body states, presents well-known challenges. In this paper, we review the covariant theory of relativistic spin and entanglement in a framework first proposed by Stueckelberg and developed by Horwitz, Piron, et al. This approach modifies Wigner’s method by introducing an arbitrary timelike unit vector nμ and then inducing a representation of SL(2,C), based on pμ rather than on the spacetime momentum. Generalizing this approach, we construct relativistic spin states on an extended phase space {(xμ,pμ),(ζμ,πμ)}, inducing a representation on the momentum πμ, thus providing a novel dynamical interpretation of the timelike unit vector nμ=πμ/M. Studying the unitary representations of the Poincaré group on the extended phase space allows us to define basis quantities for quantum states and develop the gauge invariant electromagnetic Hamiltonian in classical and quantum mechanics. We write plane wave solutions for free particles and construct stable singlet states, and relate these to experiments involving temporal interference, analogous to the spatial interference known from double slit experiments.

A supramolecular approach towards the photorelease of encapsulated caged acids in water: 7-diethylaminothio-4-coumarinyl molecules as triggers.

Herein, we establish the release of aliphatic acids in water upon excitation of 7-diethylaminothio-4-coumarinyl derivatives encapsulated within the organic host octa acid (OA). The 7-diethylaminothio-4-coumarinyl skeleton, employed here as the trigger, photoreleases caged molecules from the excited triplet state, in contrast to its carbonyl analogue, where the same reaction is known to occur from the excited singlet state. Encapsulation in OA solubilizes molecules in water that are otherwise water-insoluble, and retains the used trigger within itself following the release of the aliphatic acid. Such supramolecular characteristics usher in new features to the photorelease methodology. The thiocarbonyl chromophore extends the absorption of coumarinyl trigger to visible range while enhancing the intersystem crossing (ISC) to the triplet state, making it the reactive state. Despite the non-polar environment within the OA capsules the photocleavage occurs in a heterolytic fashion to release the conjugate base and the used trigger as triplet carbocation in an adiabatic process. Interestingly, the triplet carbocation crosses to the ground singlet surface (closed shell singlet carbocation) with the help of water molecules, possibly aided by C = S chromophore. Utilizing the known excited state dynamics of related thiocoumarinyl and coumarinyl systems, we have identified a few of the important mechanistic features of the photorelease process of 7-diethylaminothio-4-coumarinyl derivatives. Ultrafast excited state dynamic studies and quantum chemical calculations planned should help us better understand the photorelease process so as to effectively exploit the proposed system for potential applications.

Twisted Benzothieno-Fused BOPHY Dyes as Triplet Photosensitizers with Long-Lived Triplet Excited States.

The synthesis of a series of photostable [b]-benzothieno-fused BOPHY derivatives is reported via one-pot condensation of formylated isoindoles or formylindoles with hydrazine and subsequent boron complexation. These dyes show strong absorption in the deep red region and acceptable fluorescence quantum yields (∼30%). The two fused benzothiophene moieties are slightly deviated from the BOPHY core (with dihedral angles of 6.1 and 10.2°). This slightly twisted conformation brings an enhanced spin-orbit coupling and a reduced energy band gap between singlet and triplet states. The enhanced intersystem cross process endows these series of dyes with a good singlet oxygen quantum yield (up to 63%), a high triplet-state quantum yield (up to 78%), and a long lifetime value (up to 127 μs). Density functional theory calculations indicate that the transition from S1 to T2 states is crucial for triplet-state formation, highlighting their high efficiency in intersystem crossing. The calculated triplet electron spin surface reveals a widespread distribution of triplet states across the conjugated molecular structure, which enhances the Dexter mechanism for triplet energy transfer in these BOPHY photosensitizers. These findings are helpful for thorough understanding of the fundamental ISC process and developing triplet photosensitizers.

Stable, aromatic, and electrophilic azepinium ions: Design using quantum chemical methods.

Cyclic nitrenium ions containing five-membered and six-membered rings are available, however, the seven-membered cyclic nitrenium ions (azepinium ions) are rare. The chemistry of these species is related to their stability originating from the aromaticity due to 6π electrons. Very few theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted on the azepinium ions. Related clozapine and olanzapine cations (diazepinium ions) were observed during drug metabolism studies. In this work, quantum chemical analysis has been carried out to estimate the stability, aromaticity, and electrophilicity of several derivatives of azepinium ions. A few of the designed azepinium ions carry ΔES-T values in the range of 50 kcal/mol favoring singlet state; π donating groups at the 2nd position increase the singlet-triplet energy differences. Most of the substituents reduce the NICS(1) values compared to the parent system. Ring fusion with heterocyclic five-membered rings generally increases the aromaticity and the stability of the azepinium ion ring systems. The electrophilicity parameters estimated in terms of HIA, FIA, and ω values indicate that it is possible to fine-tune the chemical properties of azepinium ions with appropriate modulation.

Toward Efficient Modeling of Nonradiative Decay in Extended INVEST: Overcoming Computational Challenges in Quantum Dynamics Simulations.

In recent years, an increasing number of fully organic molecules capable of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) have been reported, often with very small or even inverted singlet-triplet (INVEST) energy gaps. These molecules typically exhibit complex photophysics due to the close energy levels of multiple singlet and triplet states, which create various transition pathways toward emission. A predictive model for the rates of these transitions is thus essential for assessing the suitability of new materials for light-emitting devices. Quantum Dynamics (QD) calculations are ideal for this purpose, as they include quantum effects, without the limitations of first-order perturbative approaches, also allowing taking into account more than two electronic states at once. However, the huge computational demands of QD methodologies, especially for large molecules, currently limit their use as a standard tool. To address this problem, we here employ a strategy that allows us to include almost the whole set of the vibrational coordinates by selecting the key elements of the Hilbert space that significantly impact dynamics, thereby hugely reducing the computational burden. Application of this protocol to two relatively large INVEST molecules reveals that internal conversion in these systems is very fast, making indirect emissive pathways a possible channel for the population of the S1 state. More importantly, this study demonstrates that the dynamics can be accurately described even with a significantly reduced vibrational space, thus allowing quantum dynamics calculations that yield accurate transition rates in a few minutes of computational time.

Concentration-Dependent Nonradiative Decay Mechanisms in Fluorescence Self-Quenching: Insights from Azulene and 1,3-Dichloroazulene

A series of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies were performed on azulene (Az) and its 1,3-dihalogenated analogue, 1,3-dichloroazulene (DCAz). Understanding the intra/inter-molecular interactions in these types of systems is the key to unlocking the potential of these molecules and enabling their application in a range of future devices. Therefore, the concentration dependence of their self-quenched fluorescence intensities and of the reduced lifetimes of their second-excited singlet states were examined. A Stern-Volmer analysis was implemented based on these experiments, which resulted in DCAz exhibiting a higher bimolecular quenching constant, compared to Az, due to its shorter excited-state lifetime. The highly efficient self-quenching at room temperature was a result of a short-range energy transfer mechanism.

Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence Sensitizer with Through‐Space Charge Transfer Manipulated by Atom Distribution for Solution‐Processed Deep‐Blue Multi‐Resonance OLEDs

AbstractOrganic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) employing multi‐resonance (MR) emitters have attracted much attention due to their high luminescent efficiency and color purity, however, the development of deep‐blue multi‐resonance OLEDs is hindered by the lack of suitable sensitizers. Here a novel design strategy is reported for thermally activated delayed fluorescence sensitizer with high reverse intersystem crossing (kRISC) and radiative transition (kR) rate by regulating atom distribution of a spatially‐aligned carbazole donor/diphenylpyrimidine acceptor structure to manipulate through‐space charge transfer (CT) process. It is found that diphenylpyrimidine acceptor with 1,3‐position nitrogen atoms is un‐conjugated to bridging phenyl moiety by the conjugation node of pyrimidine, while the acceptor with 1,5‐position nitrogen atoms is conjugated to bridging phenyl through conjugation site, opening through‐bond CT pathway via bridging phenyl besides through‐space CT from spatial donor‐acceptor interactions. As a result, the sensitizer with 1,5‐position nitrogen atoms exhibits enhanced oscillator strength by 3.5 folds and accelerated kR of 3.57 × 107 s−1, while keeping high kRISC of 4.03 × 106 s−1 and high singlet (S1) state (2.88 eV). Solution‐processed OLEDs using the sensitizer and deep‐blue multi‐resonance emitter exhibit efficient narrowband electroluminescence with CIE coordinates of (0.14, 0.13) and EQEmax of 15.6%, representing the state‐of‐the‐art device performance for deep‐blue multi‐resonance OLEDs by solution process.

Recent Advances in Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence-Based Organic Afterglow Materials.

Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)-based materials are attracting widespread attention for different applications owing to their ability of harvesting both singlet and triplet excitons without noble metals in their structures. As compared to the conventional fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence pathways, TADF originates from the reverse intersystem crossing process from the excited triplet state (T1) to the singlet state (S1). Therefore, TADF emitters enabling activated and long lifetime T1 excitons are potential candidates for generating long-lived afterglow emission, an effect that can still be observed for a while by the naked eye after the removal of the excitation light source. Recently, TADF-based organic afterglow materials featuring high photoluminescence quantum yields and long lifetimes above 100 ms under ambient conditions, have emerged for advanced information security, high-contrast biological imaging, optoelectronic devices, and intelligent sensors, whereas the related systematic review is still lacking. Herein, the recent progress in TADF-based organic afterglow materials is summarized and an overview of the photophysical mechanism, design strategies, and the performances for relevant applications is given. In addition, the challenge and perspective of this area are given at the end of the review.

Hypoxia-Active Iridium(III) Bis-terpyridine Complexes Bearing Oligothienyl Substituents: Synthesis, Photophysics, and Phototoxicity toward Cancer Cells.

In an effort to develop hypoxia-active iridium(III) complexes with long visible-light absorption, we synthesized and characterized five bis(terpyridine) Ir(III) complexes bearing oligothienyl substituents on one of the terpyridine ligands, i.e., nT-Ir (n = 0-4). The UV-vis absorption, emission, and transient absorption spectroscopy were employed to characterize the singlet and triplet excited states of these complexes and to explore the effects of varied number of thienyl units on the photophysical parameters of the complexes. In vitro photodynamic therapeutic activities of these complexes were assessed with respect to three melanoma cell lines (SKMEL28, A375, and B16F10) and two breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) under normoxia (∼18.5% oxygen tension) and hypoxia (1% oxygen tension) upon broadband visible (400-700 nm), blue (453 nm), green (523 nm), and red (633 nm) light activation. It was revealed that the increased number of thienyl units bathochromically shifted the low-energy absorption bands to the green/orange spectral regions and the emission bands to the near-infrared (NIR) regions. The lowest triplet excited-state lifetimes and the singlet oxygen generation efficiency also increased from 0T to 2T substitution but decreased in 3T and 4T substitution. All complexes exhibited low dark cytotoxicity toward all cell lines, but 2T-Ir-4T-Ir manifested high photocytotoxicity for all cell lines upon visible, blue, and green light activation under normoxia, with 2T-Ir showing the strongest photocytotoxicity toward SKMEL28, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 cells, and 4T-Ir being the most photocytotoxic one for B16F10 and A375 cells. Singlet oxygen, superoxide anion radicals, and peroxynitrite anions were found to likely be involved in the photocytotoxicity exhibited by the complexes. 4T-Ir also showed strong photocytotoxicity upon red-light excitation toward all cell lines under normoxia and retained its photocytotoxicity under hypoxia toward all cell lines upon visible, blue, and green light excitation. The hypoxic activity of 4T-Ir along with its green to orange light absorption, NIR emission, and low dark cytotoxicity suggest its potential as a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy applications.

Full‐Color Tunability Room Temperature Phosphorescence from Inorganic Crystal Frameworks

AbstractRoom temperature afterglow (RTA) materials have aroused prodigious research interests owing to their unique long‐life luminescent properties. However, it is rare for RTA materials to be reported with full‐color afterglow emission. Herein, a universal strategy is designed to activate full‐color tunability RTA based on phenylboronic acid derivatives (BOH) and boric acid (BA) via an ingenious solvent‐free solid‐phase heating. As the conjugation degrees of aromatic groups of the guest molecule expanded, the BOH/BA composites showed tunable afterglow colors ranging from blue to red after ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. This strategy is to firmly anchor the guest molecule in a rigid framework of the inorganic metaboric acid matrix by abundant hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the host and guest, suppressing molecular motion and promoting the intersystem crossing (ISC) rate between the singlet and triplet excited states for enhanced afterglow emission. In addition, through mixing in multiple guest molecules into BA simultaneously, the obtained composite can be modulated in a wide excitation range from blue to red. This fascinating study provides a simple and universal method to fabricate full‐color tunability RTA composites, making them a promising candidate for applications in advanced information security and multi‐level encryption.

Individually Tunable Energy Levels of Oligomers Based on N-B←N Units.

Opto-electronic properties and device performance of organic semiconductors are mainly determined by energy levels of their frontier molecular orbitals, e.g. lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (ELUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (EHOMO) in the ground state, first singlet state (ES1) and first triplet state (ET1) in the excited state. These energy levels are always intricately intertwined. Herein, we report a series of monodisperse oligomers based on double B←N bridged bipyridine (BNBP) units. With the increasing number of repeating units, the oligomers exhibit gradually downshifted ELUMO and nearly unchanged EHOMO due to the different distribution of the frontier molecular orbitals of the oligomers. Moreover, the oligomers exhibit gradually decreasing ES1 and nearly unchanged ET1 because of the different contributions of the charge transfer component in the excited state. This work provides new insight into energy level tuning of organic semiconductors, which is important for high-performance organic opto-electronic devices.

Investigation of the Electronic Structure in GaAs/AlxGa1‐xAs Quantum Dots with Four Electrons

AbstractIn this paper, a detailed analysis of the electronic structure of four‐electron quantum dots is performed with finite confinement potential by a modified variational optimization approach based mainly on the quantum genetic algorithm and the Hartree‐Fock‐Roothaan method. For the ground and higher excited configurations, our analysis covers a range of parameters like the average energies of ground and excited states, singlet and triplet state energies, orbital energies, and two‐electron Coulomb and exchange interaction energies. One‐electron kinetic energy, the Coulomb potential energy between electrons and impurity, the confinement potential energy for the electrons, and the probability of finding an electron inside or outside the quantum well are also studied. The results demonstrate that both spatial confinement and the height of the potential barrier have a pronounced effect on all energies in the strong and intermediate confinement regions, but this influence weakens significantly in large dot radii. The most substantial difference between singlet and triplet energies occurs in the 1s22s2p configurations, with this difference decreasing in higher configurations. Significant increases in the 1s and 2s orbital energies are observed at the dot radii where the 2p, 3d, and 4f electrons from the outermost orbit begin to penetrate the well.

Homogeneous Catalysts for Hydrogenative PHIP Used in Biomedical Applications

AbstractAt present, two competing hyperpolarization (HP) techniques, dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen (para‐H2) induced polarization (PHIP), can generate sufficiently high liquid state 13C signal enhancement for in vivo studies. PHIP utilizes the singlet spin state of para‐H2 to create non‐equilibrium spin populations. In hydrogenative PHIP, para‐H2 is irreversibly added to unsaturated precursors, typically in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst. The hydrogenation catalyst plays a crucial role in converting the singlet spin order of para‐H2 into detectable nuclear polarization. Currently, rhodium(I) bisphosphine complexes are the most widely employed catalysts for PHIP, capable of catalyzing the addition of para‐H2 to unsaturated precursors in organic solvents or aqueous media, depending on the ligand. Chiral catalysts enable the stereoselective production of hyperpolarized substrates. Ruthenium(II) piano stool complexes are capable of trans addition and are used to generate hyperpolarized fumarate. However, these catalysts systems are not optimal, and the greatest source of nuclear spin polarization loss is attributed to the mixing of singlet and triplet states of the protons derived from the para‐H2 during the hydrogenation process. Hence, future efforts should focus on enhancing the efficiency and kinetics of these catalysts.

Molecular line lists for the singlet states in gaseous YN at high temperature

ABSTRACT Our aim in this study is to investigate the electronic structure of the gaseous YN molecule and provide an accurate molecular line list of spectroscopic transitions between the five lowest singlet states. The calculations were done by using large basis set for yttrium aug-cc-pVQZ-PP with relativistic effective core potentials at the spin-free level. We first used the method of complete active space self-consistent field, which was followed by the multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction. Potential energy curves and permanent and transition dipole moments were calculated at the internuclear distance range of 1.3–2.96 Å. For each state, we calculated the spectroscopic constants (Te, ωe, ωexe, ωeye, Be, αe, Re). The calculated values of the spectroscopic constants are in excellent agreement with the experimental constants available, with a relative difference of less than 5 cm−1. We further calculated the transition intensities of allowed transitions, and we provided the absorption spectra up to a temperature of 4000 K. The computed molecular line list contains 2.6 million transitions calculated between almost 18 186 vibro-rotational energy levels. It covers the frequency range between 0 and 30 000 cm−1. The effect of temperature on the spectra of hot YN was investigated with partition functions calculated between 298 and 4000 K. This study should help in identifying the singlet state spectrum of the hot YN molecule, which is possibly found in the atmospheres of cool stars and hot rocky super-Earths.

Efficient Electroluminescence from Organic Fluorophore-Containing Perovskite Films.

Two-dimensional perovskites containing an organic fluorophore can be a unique emitter for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of fluorophore-containing perovskite LEDs reported thus far are still very low. In this study, these are able to boost the EQE to ≈10% by choosing an organic fluorophore with appropriate energy levels for the perovskite structure organization. In the fluorophore-containing perovskite LEDs, carrier transport and exciton formation take place in the perovskite's metal halide framework, thereby avoiding the direct formation of nonradiative triplet excitons on the organic fluorophores. Subsequently, the bright triplet excitons formed in the metal halide framework are transferred to form the radiative singlet states of the organic fluorophores, leading to efficient electroluminescence (EL) from the organic fluorophores regularly dispersed inside the perovskite structure. Unexpectedly higher light-outcoupling efficiency, which is caused by the light scattering in the polycrystalline perovskite layer, will be another reason for efficient EL. These findings will contribute toward the fabrication of LED-based products with high performance at a low cost.
