[交流] 用高斯09计算手册中乙醛在乙醇溶液中的荧光光谱的问题

参照手册,把乙醛在乙醇溶液中的荧光光谱计算了一下,但有很多不清楚的地方,希望大家指点。
第一步:基态的结构优化和频率(平衡溶剂化)。这是对基态包含PCM平衡溶剂化的标准Opt Freq计算。
第二步:包含线性响应溶剂化的垂直激发。这是垂直激发的TD-DFT计算,因此在基态平衡结构计算,使用默认溶剂,线性响应,非平衡溶剂化。我们进行单点TD-DFT计算,这对非平衡溶剂化是默认的。 该任务的结果将用于识别感兴趣的态及其顺序。 这些结果给出激发态溶剂化的合理描述,但不如特定态溶剂化计算的结果好。在本例中,我们看到n→π*态是第一激发态。下一步,我们将使用特定态方法,对垂直激发步骤产生更好的描述。
我的问题:1.什么是线性响应溶剂化的垂直激发?2.什么是平衡和非平衡溶剂化
第三步:垂直激发的特定态溶剂化。这需要两个任务步骤:首先做基态计算,为了存储基态的非平衡溶剂化信息,需要在PCM输入部分指定NonEq=write。接下来做实际的特定态的计算,需要用NonEq=read读取非平衡溶剂化的必要信息。
我的问题:什么是特定态溶剂化?
第四步:放松激发态结构。接下来,我们用平衡的线性响应溶剂化进行TD-DFT几何优化,以找到激发态势能面上的最小能量点。由于这是TD-DFT优化,程序默认为平衡溶剂化。作为这类体系的典型情况,基态具有平面对称性,而在激发态对称性被破坏,因此在优化的开始对基态结构作了略微的扰动以打破对称性。
第五步:激发态结构的振动频率。现在我们通过运行频率计算来确认第四步找到的结构是能量极小点
第六步:溶液中特定态的发射(第一部分)。这一步在激发态平衡构型计算特定态的平衡溶剂化,并通过输入中的PCM选项NonEq=write,把溶剂化数据的输出写到文件,用于下一步计算。
第七步:到最终基态的发射(第二部分)。最后,我们用非平衡溶剂化和来自激发态的静态溶剂化,在激发态结构计算基态能量。
因此我总结了一下,溶液中荧光光谱的计算步骤:首先做基态结构的平衡溶剂化;然后做基态的垂直激发,这一步是非平衡溶剂化的,用于识别感兴趣的态及其顺序;并接着做特定态溶剂化计算以更好地描述,首先要存储基态的非平衡溶剂化信息,因为这个信息用来做特定态溶剂化计算;紧接着做激发态的平衡溶剂化;最后做发射就行了。之所以比气相中复杂,主要是由于基态的垂直激发和激发态的发射都受到溶剂化作用。
附件是我计算的输入,输出和点文件 ,有什么不对的地方请大家指正。

我也有两个问题(已经同时发到了其他两个帖子,重复发表的目的是希望早日获得帮助,见谅!):
激发吸收波长:
step 1  SCF Done:  E(RB3LYP) =  -153.851763000     A.U. after    1 cycles
step 3.2 After PCM corrections, the energy is  -153.687703836     a.u.
以上二者能量差为0.164059164au,相当于277.69nm

其中起始状态step 1的计算过程没有SCRF=Externaliteration,终了状态step 3.2的计算过程有SCRF=Externaliteration



荧光发射波长:
step 6 After PCM corrections, the energy is  -153.707150411     a.u.
step 7 SCF Done:  E(RB3LYP) =  -153.822020921     A.U. after   10 cycles
以上二者能量差为:0.11487051au,换算为396.62nm

其中起始状态step 6的计算过程有SCRF=Externaliteration,终了状态step 7的计算过程没有SCRF=Externaliteration


问题:
在计算紫外吸收时,起始状态不需要SCRF=Externaliteration,终了状态需要SCRF=Externaliteration
但在计算荧光发射时,情形恰好相反。起始状态需要SCRF=Externaliteration,终了状态不需要SCRF=Externaliteration?
为什么二者起始和终了状态是否包括SCRF=Externaliteration的情形恰好相反呢?
我希望起始状态和终了状态都包括SCRF=Externaliteration关键字,这样不是更精确吗?不是说溶液的elctron density调整是个快过程吗?既然是个快过程,无论起始还是终了状态,都应该采用SCRF=Externaliteration关键字来调整溶液的electron density呀

我以前回复过两次类似的问题,但找不到相关的帖子了。
下面的英文是我问Gaussian官方技术支持关于荧光计算的问题,也是基于说明书的算例的问题。
楼主耐心点看看下面的英文。
应该能解决你大部分的问题。
***************************************************************************
1. A common TD job will give the enough information of verticle excitation and emission in gas phase, but a statespecific job need to be run for that in solvation. I want to the function of the statespecific job. (这一句是我问的问题)

The "StateSpecific" approach in this context applies to the excited state, and yes it involves solving self-consistently the "fast" component of the solvent polarization for the target state and non-equilibrium solvation for the "slow" component of the solvent polarization (i.e. the "slow" component of the solvent polarization comes from the origin state).

The total polarization is always partitioned into two components, "slow" and "fast". The "slow" part can be regarded as the reorganization of the solvent molecules as a response to a change in the electronic density of the solute. The "fast" part can be regarded as the response of the electrons in the solvent to a change in the electronic density of the solute. For a change in the electronic density of the solute such as a vertical electronic transition, the "slow" component of the polarization is much slower than the timescale of the electronic transition, so the solvent does not have time to respond in this way to the vertical electronic transition. The "fast" component of the polarization, on the other hand, is closer in timescale to the vertical electronic transition on the solute.

In an equilibrium solvation calculation, both components are in equilibrium with the solute's density. By default, all ground state calculations assume equilibrium solvation, as well as geometry optimizations of excited states (and also any calculation that involves the computation of the relaxed density of the excited state). Again, in equilibrium solvation processes, both the "slow" and "fast" component of the solvent polarization are in equilibrium with the excited state density.

In the case of a TD energy calculation (no excited state density or geometry optimization) for the computation of a vertical electronic excitation, the default is to do a non-equilibrium process. For this case then, the "fast" component of the polarization "responds" to the change in the solute density from ground to excited state, but the "slow" component did not have time to "respond" so it still comes from the one that was in equilibrium with the solute's ground state density. This is the case of both "Step 2" and "Step 3" in the example shown in the manual.

In "Step 2", an energy calculation using TD is performed, thus it defaults to non-equilibrium solvation. The solvation effects on the excited states energies are computed by means of a linear response approach. The absorption energies via the linear response approach only are those reported directly in the output of this "Step 2" job.

In "Step 3", a step further is taken and a correction of the linear response excitation energy is performed by solving the "fast" component of the solvent polarization self-consistently with the selected excited state density (the "State-Specific" approach). This is generally an improvement over the excitation energies obtained by linear response alone. Note that since this "State-Specific" approach involves the calculation of the excited state density, the program would default to doing an equilibrium solvation calculation on the excited state. However, the goal of "Step 3" is to compute the vertical excitation energy, so as mentioned above, we would like to use the "slow" component of the solvent polarization from the ground state calculation (in "Step 3", the first part does an equilibrium calculation on the ground state saving the solvent reaction field to the checkpoint file) and solving self-consistently the "fast" component with the excited state density (the second part of "Step 3" reads the reaction field from the checkpoint file, the one from the ground state calculation, keeps the "slow" component as is, and solves the "fast" component self-consistently with the excited state density). The absorption energy via the "State-Specific" approach is the energy difference between the excited state energy after all PCM corrections from the non-equilibrium calculation in "Step 3" and the ground state energy resulting from the equilibrium process (either first part of "Step 3" or final, optimized geometry, energy from "Step 1", the two ground state energies should be the same).

In a TD geometry optimization of an excited state, since one is looking for the equilibrium geometry, the default is to do equilibrium solvation, so the two components, "slow" and "fast", of the polarization are in equilibrium with the solute's excited state density. All "Step 4", "Step 5" and "Step 6" use equilibrium solvation for the selected excited state.

The emission energy (vertical energy of the excited to ground state transition) by means of a linear response approach can be found in the output of "Step 4". For the final (optimized) geometry in "Step 4", the "excitation energy" shown in this output would be equal to the emission energy since it is the result of an equilibrium calculation on the selected excited state.

"Step 6" and "Step 7" are analogous to the two parts of "Step 3" but this time for the opposite transition (excited to ground states). Thus, "Step 6" is analogous to the first part of "Step 3", it is an equilibrium calculation on the origin state (now the excited state) in which both "slow" and "fast" components of solvent polarization are solved self-consistently with the excited state density (this calculation can be regarded as a correction of the excited state energy beyond the linear response approach, which was done in "Step 4". Now, this "Step 6" saves the solvent reaction field to the checkpoint file. "Step 7" reads this information from the file (just like the second part of "Step 3" and performs a non-equilibrium calculation of the ground state energy, using the "slow" component of the solvent polarization from the excited state calculation ("Step 6" and only doing the "fast" component of the solvent polarization self-consistent with the ground state density. The emission energy via the "State-Specific" approach would be the energy difference between the excited state energy after all PCM corrections from "Step 6" and the ground state energy resulting from the non-equilibrium process in "Step 7".

These are a few relevant references that deal with different aspects of PCM, equilibrium vs. non-equilibrium solvation, solvation effects in electronic transition calculations:

- A review that covers many of the aspects of continuum solvation models (including a section in non-equilibrium):

J. Tomasi, B. Mennucci and R. Cammi, "Quantum Mechanical Continuum Solvation Models," Chem. Rev., 105 (2005) 2999-3093.

- A couple of early references dealing with solvation in electronic transitions:

M. Cossi and V. Barone, “Solvent effect on vertical electronic transitions by the polarizable continuum model,” J. Chem. Phys., 112 (2000) 2427-35.

M. Cossi and V. Barone, “Time-dependent density functional theory for molecules in liquid solutions,” J. Chem. Phys., 115 (2001) 4708-17.

- A couple of references related to the State-Specific (or external iteration) treatment of solvation in electronic transitions:

R. Improta, V. Barone, G. Scalmani, and M. J. Frisch, “A state-specific polarizable continuum model time dependent density functional method for excited state calculations in solution,” J. Chem. Phys., 125 (2006) 054103.

R. Improta, G. Scalmani, M. J. Frisch, and V. Barone, “Toward effective and reliable fluorescence energies in solution by a new State Specific Polarizable Continuum Model Time Dependent Density Functional Theory Approach,” J. Chem. Phys., 127 (2007) 074504.

2. For seven example steps in the guide of scrf keywords, each step need read the data from chk file from the second step on. But the guide of those steps does not specify which step's chk should be used in current step. For example, the third step read the chk of first step or second step? Each step use the chk of former step? (这一段也是我问的问题)

- Step 2: requires a copy of the checkpoint file from Step 1.
- Step 3: will work with either a copy of checkpoint file from Step 1 or from Step 2.
- Step 4: requires a copy of the checkpoint file from Step 2.
- Step 5: requires a copy of the checkpoint file from Step 4.
- Step 6: requires a copy of the checkpoint file from Step 4.
- Step 7: requires a copy of the checkpoint file from Step 6.

Please, note that there was a problem with G09 rev. A.02 because the "StateSpecific" option was connected incorrectly, but this has been fixed in our latest release, G09 rev. B.01. So, if you are using G09 rev. A.02, you would need to use "ExternalIteration" or "SelfConsistent" instead of the "StateSpecific" (shown in the example in the manual). If you are using G09 rev. B.01, then you can use "ExternalIteration", "SelfConsistent" or "StateSpecific", as the three are synonyms.

If you follow the whole example given in the manual with G09 rev. A.02 but using "ExternalIteration", you should obtain the following results on each one of the 7 proposed jobs in the example:

1) Energy of ground state optimized geometry in solution:

SCF Done:  E(RB3LYP) =  -153.851761719     A.U. after    1 cycles

2) Vertical excitation (absorption) to first excited state from Linear Response calculation in solution (using ground state optimized geometry from job 1):

Excited State   1:      Singlet-A"     4.3767 eV  283.28 nm  f=0.0000  =0.000

3) Vertical excitation (absorption) to first excited state from a non-equilibrium state-specific calculation (using "ExternalIteration" in solution (using ground state optimized geometry from job 1):

SC-PCM: The total energy including the PCM contribution is      -153.687679830 a.u.

Taking the difference of this energy minus the ground state energy (job 1), the excitation energy is 277.69 nm.

4) Geometry optimization of first excited state in solution (Final energy):

Excited State   1:      Singlet-A      3.2076 eV  386.53 nm  f=0.0014  =0.000

5) Frequency calculation to confirm that the geometry optimized in job 4 is a stationary point, and a minimum in the potential energy surface of the excited state.

6) Energy of first excited state from a equilibrium state-specific calculation (using "ExternalIteration" in solution (using optimized geometry from job 4):

SC-PCM: The total energy including the PCM contribution is      -153.707151097 a.u.

7) Energy of ground state from a non-equilibrium calculation in solution (using first excited state optimized geometry from job 4 and its reaction field from job 6):

SCF Done:  E(RB3LYP) =  -153.822029934     A.U. after   10 cycles

The difference between these last two energies gives the vertical emission energy, which, in this case, is 396.62 nm.

这么好的帖子为什么没人顶?我也是计算荧光的时候,收到hairan的指点,到了这个帖子上,我感觉我能理解这些步骤了。比原来好多了。
再就是,我感觉要定下心来阅读以下这个英文的说明,还有后面的解释,非常非常的好。只要是你想学,一定会学会的。
我们实验室的师姐,我问他高斯计算荧光,他说就是守则上的没看明白,我感觉就是没用心,只要用心,什么事都能学会。
最后,谢谢hairan,希望小木虫成为我们科研的交流平台。
