  • Abstract

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method has been performed to investigate the properties of $N_1$-$H_1\cdots O_1$ hydrogen bond of $N$-methylaniline-DMSO complex (complex I) and $N$-methylaniline-acetone complex (complex II) in the excited state. The infrared spectra are in good agreement with the experiment data. The analysis of the bond length and AIM (atoms in molecules) demonstrated that the $N_1$-$H_1\cdots O_1$ hydrogen bond is weakening from DMSO to acetone in the ground state. That is to say, the intermolecular hydrogen bond $N_1$-$H_1 \cdots O_1$ between $N$-methylaniline and solvent molecular is stronger with the polarity of solvent stronger. Upon photoexcitation, the analysis of AIM implies that the intermolecular complex II is enhanced. Interestingly, the hydrogen bond $N_1$-$H_1\cdots O_1$ of complex I is weakened. The analysis of molecular orbital also support the results that the intermolecular hydrogen bond $N_1$-$H_1 \cdots O_1$ of complex I is weakened whereas it of complex II is enhanced.
