Luminescent trivalent lanthanide (Ln3+) complexes are compounds of technological interest due to their unique photophysical properties, particularly anionic tetrakis complexes, given higher stability and emission quantum yields. However, structural studies on the cation–anion interaction in these relation such luminescence still lacking. Herein, interactions two luminescent tetrakis(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonato)europate(III) with alkylimidazolium cations, specifically...
The population and depopulation mechanisms leading to the lowest-lying triplet states of 2-Se-Thymine were studied at MS-CASPT2/cc-pVDZ level theory.

The photophysical relaxation pathways of tzA, tzG, and tzI luminescent nucleobases were investigated with the MS-CASPT2 quantum-chemical method double-ζ basis sets (cc-pVDZ) in gas condensed phases (1,4-dioxane water) sequential Monte Carlo/CASPT2 free energy gradient (FEG) methods. Solvation shell structures, ground excited states, examined pairwise radial distribution function (G(r)) solute-solvent hydrogen-bond networks. Site-specific hydrogen bonding analysis evidenced relevant changes...
The photochemical reaction path approach, the MS-CASPT2 quantum-chemical method, and double-ζ basis sets (cc-pVDZ) were used to study 9 H-8-azaguanine 8 relaxation pathways. Several potential energy hypersurfaces characterized by means of equilibrium geometries, surface crossings (conical intersections singlet-triplet intersystem crossings), minimum paths, linear interpolation in internal coordinates. main event begins with direct population 1(ππ* La) state, which evolves toward a conical...
Time-Dependent Density-Functional Theory (TDDFT) and Extended Multi-State Complete Active Space Second-Order Perturbation (XMS-CASPT2) methods, together with augmented correlation-consistent polarizable valence double-ζ (aug-cc-pVDZ) basis sets, were applied to simulate the vibronic resonance Raman (RR) spectra of a push-pull model system, 4-nitroaniline (pNA) its anion ([pNA]-), within Independent Mode Displaced Harmonic Oscillator (IMDHO) model. Both methods predict adequately well...
The photophysical relaxation mechanisms of 1-cyclohexyluracil, in vacuum and water, were investigated by employing the Multi-State CASPT2 (MS-CASPT2, Complete Active-Space Second-Order Perturbation Theory) quantum chemical method Dunning’s cc-pVDZ basis sets. In both environments, our results suggest that primary event is population S11(ππ*) bright state. Afterwards, two likely deactivation pathways can take place, which sustained linear interpolation internal coordinates defined via...
A CASE STUDY.The choice of the active space is a crucial step for successful multiconfigurational quantum chemical calculation.In this work, hints are provided on how to choose right space, illustrating each with real calculations.The examples can be reproduced by following input files included in Supporting Information and employing free software available internet.
