Further insight into the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited I-(H2O)n clusters

Author(s): Qadir K Timerghazin

First-principles molecular dynamics simulations of the excited-state dynamics of I-(H2O)3 have been performed to gain some insight into the general features of the relaxation process of photoexcited I-(H2O)n clusters. The relaxation of excited I-(H2O)3 is c...

Resonance description of S-nitrosothiols: insights into reactivity

Author(s): Qadir K Timerghazin

A resonance representation of the electronic structure of S-nitrosothiols as a combination of the conventional R-S-N=O structure, a zwitterionic structure R-S+=N-O-, and a RS-/NO+ ion pair is proposed. The resonance forms are employed to predict and rationa...

Non-nuclear attractor of electron density as a manifestation of the solvated electron

Author(s): Qadir K Timerghazin

Two or more polar molecules can trap an excess electron either in a dipole-bound fashion where it is located outside of the cluster (dipole-bound electron) or inside the cluster (solvated electron). The topology of the electron density in dipole-bound and s...

Electronic structure of the acetonitrile and acetonitrile dimer anions: a topological investigation

Author(s): Qadir K Timerghazin

Acetonitrile molecules are known for their intriguing ability to accommodate an excess electron in either a diffuse dipole-bound orbital, away from the valence electrons, or in its valence orbitals, depending on the environment. In this work, we report a co...

Structure and stability of HSNO, the simplest S-nitrosothiol

Author(s): Qadir K Timerghazin

High-level ab initio calculations employing the CCSD and CCSD(T) coupled cluster methods with a series of systematically convergent correlation-consistent basis sets have been performed to obtain accurate molecular geometry and energetic properties of the s...

Description:

First-principles molecular dynamics simulations of the excited-state dynamics of I-(H2O)3 have been performed to gain some insight into the general features of the relaxation process of photoexcited I-(H2O)n clusters. The relaxation of excited I-(H2O)3 is characterized by rapid motion of water molecules and slow recoil motion of the iodine atom. Both solvent reorganization and iodine atom motion appear to be important for interpreting the existing femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy...
