We present ground and excited state frequency calculations of the recently discovered extremely red-shifted chlorophyll f. We discuss the experimentally available vibrational mode assignments of chlorophyll f and chlorophyll a which are characterised by particularly large downshifts of 13¹-keto mode in the excited state. The accuracy of excited state frequencies and their displacements are evaluated by the construction of Franck-Condon (FC) and Herzberg-Teller (HT) progressions at the CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Results show that while CAM-B3LYP results are improved relative to B3LYP calculations, the displacements and downshifts of high-frequency modes are underestimated still, and that the progressions calculated for low temperature are dominated by low-frequency modes rather than fingerprint modes that are Resonant Raman active.
我们呈现了最近发现的极度红移叶绿素 f 的基态和激发态频率计算。我们讨论了叶绿素 f 和叶绿素 a 的实验可得到的振动模式分配,其特征在于激发态中 13¹-酮模式的特别大的位移。通过在 CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d)水平构建 Franck-Condon (FC) 和 Herzberg-Teller (HT) 进展,评估了激发态频率及其位移的准确性。结果表明,虽然相对于 B3LYP 计算,CAM-B3LYP 的结果得到了改善,但高频模式的位移和下位移仍然被低估,并且计算的低温进展主要由低频模式主导,而不是共振拉曼活性的指纹模式。
