摘要: Excited-state deactivation mechanisms of uracil are investigated using spin-flip time-dependent density functional theory. Two important minimum-energy crossing points located, for both gas-phase and hydrated uracil, optimized relaxation pathways connecting the most critical on 1nπ* 1ππ* potential energy surfaces determined. An ultrafast decay time constant, measured via femtosecond spectroscopy, is assigned to direct → S0 deactivation, while a slower component indirect deactivation. The shorter lifetime dark state in aqueous solution attributed decrease barrier along pathway minimum 1ππ*/S0 conical intersection. This arises due hydrogen bonding between water, leading blue-shift excitation considerable modification barriers surface. These results illustrate how t...
