    Abstract : This thesis reports a state-of-the-art theoretical study of photophysical properties of organic charge-transfer aromatic molecules. These molecules are building blocks of molecular functional materials used in modern photonics technology and play essential roles in chemistry and biology in general. READ MORE

  5. 25. Quantum and quantum-classical calculations of core-ionized molecules in varied environments

    Author : Tuomas Löytynoja; Hans Ågren; Jukka Tulkki; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electron spectroscopy; UPS; XPS; photodissociation; binding energy; ionization potential; computational; electronic structure; self-consistent field; DFT; QM MM; gas phase; liquid; solution; physisorption; metallic surface; polymer; charge transfer; Teoretisk kemi och biologi; Theoretical Chemistry and Biology;

    Abstract : Computational quantum chemistry methods have been applied in two particular cases: to provide insight to photoionization induced fragmentation of HgBr2 and HgCl2 molecules, and to study core-electron binding energies and chemical shifts of molecules in liquid, surface adsorbed and polymeric environments in the framework of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM). In the photodissociation studies the computational work is based on the relativistic Dirac equation as the systems present strong spin-orbit interaction affecting the fragmentation processes.
