Modeling Absorption and Emission Spectroscopies of Symmetric and Asymmetric Azaoxahelicenes in Vacuum and Solution
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Helicenes are of general interest due to the significant chiral signals in both absorption-and emission-based spectroscopy. Herein, the spectroscopic properties of four recently synthesized azaoxahelicenes are studied using density functional theory methods. The azaoxahelicenes have 7, 9, 10, and 13 units and one to two complete turns of the structure. UV-vis absorption and electronic circular dichroism spectra are determined both in vacuum and in solution using explicit solvation through a combined molecular dynamics/polarizable embedding framework. Addition-ally, emission and circularly polarized luminescence spectra are determined based on vibronic calculations. The resulting spectra are in good agreement with the experimentally available data, highlighting that both absorption-and emission-based spectra of the systems can be modeled computationally such that reliable predictions can be made for systems that are yet to be synthesized.
