Structures, singlet-triplet energy gaps, and electronic spectra are predicted using the B3LYP method in conjunction with the 6-31G(d) basis set and the effective core potentials/basis sets of Stevens et al. Minimum energy structures of the lowest triplet excited states (T1) were found to retain D2h symmetry with stretched Cb-Cb and Cb-Cm bond distances. We found that halogenation at the four meso-positions significantly changes the ground state excitation energies and the singlet-triplet gap for the free-base parent compound. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9666135-4-6 |
