Excited state properties of sizable molecules in solution: From structure to reactivity
We review some recent advances in quantum mechanical methods devised specifically for the study of excited electronic state of large size molecules in solution. The adopted theoretical/computational framework is rooted in the density functional theory (DFT) and its time-dependent extension (TD-DFT) for the characterization of ground and excited states, in the polarizable continuum model (PCM) for the treatment of bulk solvent effects, and in time-dependent quantum mechanical methods for chemical dynamics. Selected applications to the simulation of absorption spectra, to the interpretation of time-resolved experiments, and to the computation of dissociative electron transfer rates are presented and discussed. © Springer-Verlag 2007.
