背景:我用TDDFT计算激发态,然后审稿人说用CIS试试。(我知道CIS计算不好,但是审稿人说了,就是了一下,我是这么回复的)
审稿人第一次这么问:
The authorsshould try other functionals and test for the triplet followed by a comparisonwith any wavefunction based method (CIS, CIS(D)).
我的回复:
TDDFTis becoming popular as a method for studying excited states because thecomputational cost is roughly similar to the simple CIS method.1-3 Accordingto your suggestion, S1 is calculated by CIS method and results areshown in Table-r1. The CIS results have larger discrepancy with experimental values. Table-r1.Oscillator strength (f), emissionwavelength, transition dipole moment (TDM) and transition ratio from HOMO toLUMO are calculated by TDDFT and CIS respectively. | | | | | | TDDFT | 0.0003 | 518 nm | 0.185 D | 94.8% | | | | | |
结果这个审稿人不满意,应该是给的拒绝,可能是我其他问题也没有回复好。幸好编辑没有给拒绝,在给我的回复中这么说的:
In Table-r1 of the response letter for the comparison between TDDFT and CIS, this reviewer observes high discrepancy between TDDFT and CIS in the wavelength for the transition. However, the oscillator strength and TDM are quite different to stemming from the different HOMO-LUMO contribution. I would think they are of two different states. It is not so uncommon for two different methods to have different energy orders because of some artificial switching in one of them. I would recommend the authors to check this issue and compare the energies not from the excited state numbers but from the symmetries of the respective TDM.
我想咨询的是,编辑最后说的这个话啥意思?从the symmetries of the respective TDM来分析?啥意思呢?
谢谢各位老师指点。
