正文摘要:

Hi everyone, I am using FMO isosurface analysis to figure out the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect of a cyanide anion probe, just like in the piece I have attached. We can see the FMO isos ...

Greeting Prof.
I made the mistake that oscillation strength actually is f = 0.0095, but I understand your advice well.
Thank you.

Hole and electron distributions can characterize any excited state. In fact f=0.095 is not very "dark", the optical absorption is not fully negligible, and this state is quite important for emission process (according to Kasha's rule).

Hi prof.
I have taken your advice and checked hole and electron distribution. My structure has first excited state, which is dark state with f = 0.095, and second excited state, which is the first bright state with f = 0.981. If I calculate fragment charge and visualize electron and hole distribution based on the first excited state, will the result be meaningful?
Thank you.

Please do not simply check CT%, but also visually check hole and electron distributions, otherwise one cannot draw definitive conclusion.

Using FMO to analyze this problem is never recommended, because much more orbitals may be involved i ...

Greeting prof.
When I calculate the CT% (for 2 fragments) before and after added my quencher, the CT% change from 16% to -0.4%. Can I conclude that my structure has ICT characteristic and that has been quenched by analyte?
Thank you.

If in the actual environment (e.g. aqueous environment), iodine anion can easily dissociate from the cation, then it is very reasonable to only calculate the cation part.

I didn't see the exact position of the iodine anion in your structure, and thus I am unable to give you a definitive answer

Greeting Prof.,
Do I have to include the iodine anion when calculating? And will the absence of iodine affect the result of IFCT?
If I don't need to add the iodine anion to the structure, what is a good explanation for it in the article?
Thank you.

If the molecule exists in solvent environment, optimizing it with solvation model is the safest way. Implicit solvation model doesn't increase cost notably.

If changing to ma-def2-TZVP, the result is expected to be better.

No. For quantitatively evaluating charge transfer caused by electronic excitation at TDDFT level, IFCT directly gives what you need.

Thank you, professor.
My GS structure was optimised for wB97XD and ma-def2-SVP. Do I have to change the basis set to ma-def2-TZVP for SP and TDDFT calculations?
And do I use IFCT to measure the amount of charge transfer or do I still need to calculate fragment charge?

Greetings, prof.
Does measuring the amount of charge transfer for fragment charge require me to p ...

This depends on the mechanism causing charge transfer. If the charge transfer is caused by electronic excitation, evidently you must perform electron excitation via e.g. TDDFT, so that you can calculate fragment charge based on excited state density.
In Gaussian, you can define a mixed solvent, the way has been described in http://sobereva.com/327.
