摘要:

采用多组态CASSCF方法和MS-CASPT2方法研究了丁烯二腈中性分子及阳离子和阴离子的顺-反异构化机理. 结果表明, 中性分子和离子态的光顺-反异构化反应经历不同的非绝热跃迁途径: 中性丁烯二腈受光激发至S1态后, 需克服一个不低于19.7 kJ/mol的能垒才有机会到达基态和激发态间的圆锥交叉(S1/S0-CI), 随后经非辐射跃迁回到基态, S1/S0-CI在结构上偏离C═C双键旋转路径, 且能量较高, 因此会降低旋转速度, 阻碍旋转的单向性;丁烯二腈阳离子和阴离子自由基的D0态和D1态旋转势能面在90°处相交, 优化的D1/D0-CI与D1态中间体的结构和能量均相近, 因此从D1态经由D1/D0-CI无辐射跃迁到D0态的过程无势垒, 在此过程中C═C旋转方向性得到最大限度的保持. 研究结果证实了电子诱导不仅能降低基态热旋转势垒, 而且能够调控光旋转的非绝热跃迁机理.

Abstract:

CASSCF and MS-CASPT2 mechanistic studies were carried on the cis-trans isomerization processes of 1,2-dicyanoethylene in its neutral, cationic and anionic forms. The results confirmed the importance of electron-induction in reducing the reaction barrier, and more importantly, revealed the different nonadiabatic channels tuned by electron attachment/detachment. The S1S0 decay of neutral dicyanoethylene need overcome a mild barrier(≥19.7 kJ/mol) to reach a H-migration-type, namely the S1/S0-CI, which is away from the C═C torsional coordinates and may slow down the speed of C═C rotation and hurt its directionality; while in cationic and anionic isomerization processes, the D1 and D0 PESs intersect along the rotary path, therefore, the nonadiabatic D1D0 decay is barrierless, as result, the directionality of C═C rotation is maintained. The study revealed the role of electron induction in tuning the cis-trans photoisomerization, and shed light on the design of light-driven molecular rotary motors.
