4. Electronic Curve Crossings → new stuff from other electronic state
5. Bixon-Jortner Theory → rapid loss of ability to radiate
6. Photochemistry: photon-induced reactions, unimolecular and bimolecular
7. Förster: Donor → Acceptor processes hR−3 i
A molecule is a collection of e− and nuclei. No analytic solution for ≥ 3 bodies
* Born–Oppenheimer Approximation: clamp the nuclei (no vibration or rotation) and solve
for the electronic energy levels at a grid of nuclear geometries: Ei (R). connect the dots →
potential energy surfaces PES Vi (R)
Understand the relative energies and shapes of the PESs in terms of LCAO–MOs: configurations → Electronic States
MO’s: bonding, nonbonding, antibonding, structure-demanding (e.g. σ vs. π bonds, spn
hydridization)
* Once we have a PES, we solve nuclear Schrödingier Equation for the vibrational levels.
The 3N − 6 normal mode frequencies “encode” the geometric structures (molecular shape
and force constants).
Next we solve semi–rigid rotor for rotational levels and vibration dependence of rotational
constants. More encoding of PES in observable energy levels.

From diatomic to polyatomic molecules: there is a lot of information about the spectrum
and structures of a polyatomic molecule. How do we organize it?
atom → diatomic molecule → small polyatomic molecule → big stuff
gas phase (hHit =constant) → condensed phase–energy transfer to surroundings
Radiative decay (population decays, molecule remains intact)

Methodology
• absorption
• induced fluorescence (using laser)
• multi–photon ionization, resonance enhanced [ions are easier to collect and detect than
photons, why?]
• more sophisticated schemes: 2-color, stepwise vs. coherent (STIRAP = Stimulated
Raman Adiabatic Passage)

Electronic Transitions
Many vibrational bands
Vibrational Band System → a lot of information about the change in shape of PES for
excited electronic state (0 ) vs. ground electronic state (00 ).
Universal notation: Upper state first, single 0 for upper state, double
00
for lower state. 5.61 Lecture 30/31
Fall, 2017
Page 5
Franck–Condon Principle governs relative intensities of the vibrational bands in an electronic
transition
The Franck-Condon principle is based on sudden promotion of one e− , so fast that nuclei
respond only after the e− excitation.
ΔR = 0
“vertical transitions”
ΔP = 0
no change in momentum. How is momentum encoded in eikt ?
Transition occurs at value of R where spatial oscillation frequency
(momentum) is the same in the upper and the lower electronicvibrational states. “Stationary Phase Approximation” Mostly favors turning point to turning point transitions.
Z
FC Factor = qv0 ,v00 ≡
2
∞
χv0 (R) χv00 (R) dR
0
This is the square of an overlap integral between initial and final vibrational states.
If you know V 0 (R) and V 00 (R) you can then compute accurate FC factors. There is no simple
formula.
If you do not know V 0 and V 00 , you can use the vibrational intensity distribution to qualitatively describe
ΔV = V 0 (R) − V 00 (R) ≡ ΔV (R).

FC allowed region from v 00 = 0 is over the range of R from turning point to turning
point in the V 0 potential. 5.61 Lecture 30/31
Fall, 2017
Page 6
3 cases
• Upper state less bound and shifted to larger Re : long vibrational “progression” because
inner wall is steep.
• Upper state same shape as lower state: only Δv = 0 transitions. No progression. Hot
bands 0 − 0, 1 − 1, 2 − 2: “sequence” structure.
• Upper state more bound and shifted to shorter Re : short progression because outer
wall of V 0 potential is not steep.
How do we determine absolute vibrational quantum numbers?
Isotope shifts. Recall that ω = [k/µ]1/2 where µ is a reduced mass, which depends on
isotopologue.
Band shapes: depend on rotational constants

B 0 = B 00

What about FC factors for polyatomic molecules? 3N − 6 Vibrational nodes. Benzene has
12 atoms, 30 vibrational modes! Horrible?
Not so bad because many vibrational modes are identical in the upper and lower electronic
states.
*When ω 0 = ω 00 , those are called “FC dark” modes because they follow the Δv = 0 propensity
rule. 5.61 Lecture 30/31
Fall, 2017
Page 7
*The few modes where ω 0 =
6 ω 00 are called “FC bright” modes because several Δv 6= 0
transitions for that mode are observable. These are the vibrational modes that “generate”
the change in geometry between the excited and ground electronic states.
For example, acetylene is linear and with a C ≡ C bond in the electronic ground state
and the first excited singlet state is trans–bent with a C = C bond. The CC stretch and
trans–bending normal modes are FC bright because they generate the change in geometry.
The vibrational intensity distribution (which modes are FC bright and the v 0 distribution of
qv0 ,v00 =0 ) gives qualitative information about ΔV (R).

Absorption spectrum is simpler than the emission spectrum because the FC region for absorption from v 00 = 0 is narrow in energy range and especially because in emission from an
excited state, the inner and outer turning points on the upper potential curve are far apart.
In condensed phase, the vibrational population in the excited state is rapidly relaxed (by collisions with solvent or lattice) to v 0 = 0. Relaxation is always much faster than spontaneous
radiative decay.

predissociation by tunneling through a

Now let’s look beyond the collision–free (no energy removed) non–radiative decay mechanisms as shown in the above figure.
We will see now that there are other decay mechanisms that do NOT involve breaking the
molecule! “Dynamics” 5.61 Lecture 30/31

Get maximum modulation depth for β = 2−1/2 . |3i and |2i are 50 : 50 mixed: |3i(0) ± |2i(0)
This modulation is superimposed on an exponential decay (not shown).
The phase of the modulation is what you expect when you prepare and detect the same
“bright state”. 5.61 Lecture 30/31
Fall, 2017
Page 12
What would I(t) look like if the 3 ← 1 transition is “bright” for excitation but the 2 → 1
transition is bright for detection?
Now we are ready to consider a “wavepacket” built from several vibrational levels of the
same electronic state. Again we use a short excitation pulse out of electronic state 1 to
create a coherent superposition state in one bright vibrational level of electronic state 2.

*Many vibrational levels of electronic state
2 are “coherently” excited.
*Wavepacket starts at inner turning point
of electronic state 2.

v 00 = 0
*hxit and hpit follow Newton’s Laws
If upper potential curve is harmonic but ω 0 6= ω 00 , wavepacket remains localized and oscillates
at ω 0 = [k/µ]1/2 .
The phases of the eigenstates in the wavepacket are such that the ability of the Ψ(t) to
fluoresce to the |1, 0i state oscillates at ω. 5.61 Lecture 30/31

Page 13
Now add some anharmonicity in the electronic state 2 potential curve.
• Wavepacket continues to oscillate where hxit and hpit follow Newton’s Laws, but the
wavepacket spreads out (dephases).
• The total population decay rate from state 2 is unaffected, but the ability to fluoresce
into the |1, 0i state decreases.
• This decrease is superimposed on the oscillations at near ω.
Now add intermode anharmonic interactions (Intramolecular Vibrational Redistribution, IVR) in electronic state 2. Begin to see Fourier components in the fluorescence
oscillations associated with the harmonic frequencies of the other dark modes in electronic
state 2.
Now add a curve crossing between the potential surfaces of electronic states 2 and 3.

Curves 2 and 3 cross at Rc , Ec .
The wavepacket prepared on state 2 from the |1, 0i ground state v = 0 level contains a
coherent superposition of several vibrational states. Each of these vibrational states “crosses” 5.61 Lecture 30/31
Fall, 2017
Page 14
into state 3 at R ≈ Rc , which is the stationary phase region. The most efficient crossing is
for the states that have the smallest momentum at Rc . These are the states with energy near
Ec . Some amplitude of the wavepacket on state 2 leaks into state 3 each time the wavepacket
crosses through the R = Rc region. This produces a train of mini–packets spaced in time by
the period of oscillation in state 2 at E near Ec .
One can use femtosecond pump/probe schemes to view this train of pulses entering the
electronic state 3. This is similar to what A. H. Zewail pioneered in his study of the dynamics
associated with the ionic-covalent curve crossing in NaI [J. Chem. Phys. 88, 6672 (1988)].
Bixon–Jortner Theory of Non–radiative Decay [J. Chem. Phys. 48, 715 (1968)].
This answers the question: why do large molecules exhibit fast decay of UV fluorescence
which does not involve either breaking of the molecule or actual decay of the total amount of
energy in the molecule. The basic idea is that the molecule loses the ability to radiate in the
UV because a single bright state is mixed with many near-degenerate dark states (triplets
and high vibrational levels of the electronic ground state).

We get MANY 2–level quantum beats, all “phased up” at t = 0. But each quantum beat
is at a different ω1n . They get out of phase so that the ability to fluoresce goes away much
more rapidly than the radiative decay rate of each individual eigenstate.

Ability to radiate goes away but hHit remains constant (excited state population does not
decay rapidly).
This can be biologically useful
Photochemistry in electronically excited states can be very destructive, but fast cis-trans
isomerization or intramolecular energy transfer can be protective, thus biologically useful.
