Abstract:
We perform a computational investigation to unravel the mechanisms of intramolecular thiol proton transfer and triplet formation in dithiotropolone. The S1 and S2 states are dipole-forbidden, whereas S3 and S4 are dipole-allowed states in this molecule. Upon initiating the nuclear wavepacket on S3, this molecule exhibits simultaneous S3 to S2/S1 internal conversion and S3-T4 intersystem crossing. Further simulations reveal that the molecule shows ultrafast internal conversion in the triplet manifold, similar to its singlet dynamics. Apart from these decay processes in the Franck-Condon region, this molecule can display thiol proton transfer via multiple singlet states due to low barrier energies along the reaction coordinate. The S1-T4 and S3-T5/T6 crossings upon the S-H coordinate's elongation illustrate that the molecule can also show the triplet formation outside the Franck-Condon region.
