摘要: The accurate simulation of fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra in solution remains a huge challenge due to the difficulty simulating excited state dynamics condensed phase. In this work we revisit solvent effect on electronic absorption, fluorescence, acetone by virtue quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) equilibrium simulations for both ground (S0) lowest singlet (S1) triplet (T1) states aqueous acetone, which use periodic boundary conditions hundreds explicit molecules are free empirical electrostatic fittings states. Our calculated effects acetone's n → π* (S0 S1) absorption (0.25–0.31 eV) ← (S1 S0) emission (0.03–0.04 as well Stokes shift (0.22–0.27 good accordance with experimental results (0.19 0.31, −0.02 0.05, 0.14 0.33 eV, respectively). We also predict small water (−0.05 0.03 S1 ...
