Abstract

En 中文
We present a novel three-layer approach based on multilevel density functional theory (MLDFT) and polarizable molecular mechanics to simulate the electronic excitations of chemical systems embedded in an external environment within the time-dependent DFT formalism. In our method, the electronic structure of a target system, the chromophore, is determined in the field of an embedded inactive layer, which is treated as frozen. Long-range interactions are described by employing the polarizable fluctuating charge (FQ) force field. The resulting MLDFT/FQ thus accurately describes both electrostatics (and polarization) and non-electrostatic target-environment interactions. The robustness and reliability of the approach are demonstrated by comparing our results with experimental data reported for various organic molecules in solution.
