Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Trioxytriphenylamine Dimers in Di(radical cationic) States

Chem, Eur. J., accepted (2017). DOI: 10.1002/chem.201703220   Three structural isomers of trioxytriphenylamine (TOT) dimers, 4,4”’-bis(2,2′:6′,2″:6″,6-trioxytriphenylamine) (4), 3,3”’-bis(2,2′:6′,2″:6″,6-trioxytriphenylamine) (5), and 3,4”’-bis(2,2′:6′,2″:6″,6-trioxytriphenylamine) (6) were prepared and their electronic and magnetic properties in the di(radical cationic) states were investigated. The X-ray crystal structure analysis demonstrated that the TOT moieties of all the di(radical cation)s have planar structures similar to that of the structure of the parent TOT radical cation 3+. The UV-vis spectrum of the di(radical cation) showed characteristic absorptions depending on the connecting pattern. Thus, in the long wavelength region (600-900 nm), 4-2+ exhibited strong and broad characteristic absorptions, while compounds 5-2+ and 62+ exhibited weak absorptions. Notably, in the 450-600 […]

Quantum Chemistry on Quantum Computers: A Polynomial-Time Quantum Algorithm for Constructing the Wave Functions of Open-Shell Molecules

J. Phys. Chem. A 120, pp.6459-6466 (2016). DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpca.6b04932 Quantum computers are capable to efficiently perform full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations of atoms and molecules by using the quantum phase estimation (QPE) algorithm. Because the success probability of the QPE depends on the overlap between approximate and exact wave functions, efficient methods to prepare accurate initial guess wave functions enough to have sufficiently large overlap with the exact ones are highly desired. Here, we propose a quantum algorithm to construct the wave function consisting of one configuration state function, which is suitable for the initial guess wave function in QPE-based FCI calculations of openshell molecules, based on the addition theorem of […]
