Mixed Quantum-Classical Simulations of Optical Spectra: Pheophorbide-a Butanediamine Dendrimers in Ethanol — •Hui Zhu, Volkhard May, Steffen Hackbarth, and Beate Röder — Institut für physik, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Newtonstraße 15, D-12489 Berlin, Germany

Linear absorbance and time-resolved luminescence spectra are calculated in combining an improved exciton model with classical path approximation npT-ensemble MD simulations [1,2]. The exciton model includes an excitonic coupling based on ab initio electronic structure calculations, single pheophorbide-a excitation energy fluctuations due to solvent dynamics and structure fluctuations of the whole dendrimeric complex, and a separate account for intra chromophore vibrations. All computed spectra are compared with measured data and reproduce the observed trends when increasing the number of included pheophorbide-a molecules from 4 to 32.
