Coumarines and Flavonoids are organic dyes that occur e.g. in leaves and petals. They are known for their antioxidative and photoprotective effects by undergoing excited state intramolecular proton transfers (ESIPT). The explanation of this process requires detailed knowledge of the potential energy surfaces (PES) of the ground and the excited state. To describe the ESIPT of 3-hydroxychromone (3-HC) and 3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF) along the proton transfer coordinate, different models have been chosen. One-, two- and partly three-dimensional potential energy surfaces have been calculated at the density functional theory (DFT) level. For the excited state the calculations are based on time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). From these models vibrational eigenvalues can be calculated and compared to the experiments, additionally the minimum energy pathways are discussed.
