基于第一性原理计算了2, 3-二呋喃基马来酸酐(2, 3-difurylmaleic anhydride, DFMA)的光致变色开关机理. 在获得DFMA分子开环(O-DFMA)和闭环(C-DFMA)稳定构型的基础上, 应用微动弹性带(NEB)法找到了开环与闭环之间的最小能量路径(MEP)及过渡态构型(TS-DFMA), 得出O-DFMA和C-DFMA的势垒分别是24959 cm–1(3.0945 eV)和23328 cm–1(2.8923 eV), 预示着DFMA分子可能为热稳定双稳态分子. 基于MEP曲线(基态S0)对应的分子构型, 计算了DFMA最低8个单重激发态的势能曲线, 发现仅第1激发态(S1态)在TS-DFMA构型时出现极小值. 结合分子轨道跃迁及其图像, DFMA分子光致变色的机理为: 1)闭环→开环: 在S1–S0共振跃迁的波长激光作用下, C-DFMA分子从S0跃迁至S1态, 然后分子沿S1态势能曲线退激发, 在TS-DFMA构型处发生从S1态到S0态的交叉跳变回到O-DFMA构型, 完成由闭环→开环的开关动作. 这一开关过程中S1态势能曲线单调下降, 预示着开环动作不会有荧光辐射发生; 2)开环→闭环: 在S1–S0共振跃迁的波长激光作用下, O-DFMA分子从S0跃迁至S1态. 从O-DFMA构型到TS-DFMA构型, S1态势能曲线存在一段相对“平坦”的区域, 仅在接近TS-DFMA构型时才明显单调下降. 这意味着O-DFMA分子可能需要借助振动激发才能跨越S1这段“平坦”区从而接近到TS-DFMA构型, 然后顺着单调下降的S1态势能曲线退激发, 在TS-DFMA构型处发生从S1态到S0态的交叉跳变, 完成由开环→闭环的开关动作. 也正因为有起初S1态势能曲线的平坦区, 这一激发开关过程中同时伴有荧光辐射发生. DFMA分子的光致变色机理预示着其适合制作荧光分子开关.The photochromic switching mechanism of 2,3-difurylmaleic anhydride (DFMA) is investigated by first-principles calculations. Based on the stable structures of the open-ring (O-DFMA) and closed-ring (C-DFMA) of the DFMA, the minimum energy path (MEP) and the configuration of transition states (TS-DFMA) between the O-DFMA and C-DFMA are found by using the nudged elastic band (NEB) method, the potential barriers of O-DFMA and C-DFMA are 24959 cm–1(3.0945 eV) and 23328 cm–1(2.8923 eV), respectively, indicating that the DFMA molecule may be a thermally bistable molecule. Along the molecular configuration corresponding to the MEP curve (i.e. ground state S0), the potential energy curves of the lowest 8 singlet excited states of DFMA are calculated. Among these energy curves, only the first electronic excited state (i.e. S1 state) has a minimum value in the transition state (TS-DFMA) configuration. Combined with the molecular orbital transitions and orbital images, the photochromic mechanism of DFMA can be described as follows (1) From C-DFMA to O-DFMA process: under the action of the laser with S1–S0 resonance transition wavelength, the C-DFMA transits from S0 to S1 state, and then deactivates along the S1 potential energy curve, until a cross jumping transition occurs at the TS-DFMA structure from S1 to S0 and finally the molecule along the S0 potentioal energy curve returns to the O-DFMA configuration, then the switching action from closed-ring to open-ring is completed. The S1 state potential energy curve drops monotonically in this switching process, implying that there will be no fluorescent radiation in this process. (2) From O-DFMA to C-DFMA process: under the action of the laser with S1–S0 resonance transition wavelength, O-DFMA transits from S0 to S1 state. From the O-DFMA to TS-DFMA structure, there is a relatively “flat” area in the potential energy curve of the S1 state, and it decreases significantly only when it is close to the TS-DFMA. This means that O-DFMA needs to be excited with some vibrational modes to pass through the “flat” region of S1 and approaching to the TS-DFMA configuration, and then DFMA de-excites from the S1 state potential energy curve along a monotonic decline and a cross jumping transition from S1 to S0 occurs in the TS-DFMA configuration, completing the switching action from open-ring to closed-ring. It is also precisely because of the flat region of the potential energy curve of the initial S1 state that this excitation and switching process is accompanied by fluorescent radiations. The photochromic mechanism of DFMA indicates that it is suitable for making fluorescent molecular switches.
