Recent Highlights

  • Multistate Modeling of Hemithioindigo Isomerization

    Towards entry "Multistate Modeling of Hemithioindigo Isomerization"

    We present a multistate molecular mechanics model that captures both the ground (S0) and triplet excited (T1) states of hemithioindigo-based photoswitches — enabling nanosecond-scale molecular dynamics with near quantum mechanical accuracy.

  • SHNITSEL-data

    Towards entry "SHNITSEL-data"

    SHNITSEL-data (Surface Hopping Nested Instances Training Set for Excited-state Learning) is an open-access dataset containing 418,870 high-accuracy ab initio data points for nine organic molecules. It includes quantum chemical properties in ground and electronically excited singlet and triplet states, such as energies, forces, dipole moments, nonadiabatic couplings, transition dipoles, and spin-orbit couplings. Generated with state-of-the-art methods, SHNITSEL-data supports the development of machine learning models for excited-state processes in photochemistry and photophysics.

  • From Triplet to Twist

    Towards entry "From Triplet to Twist"

    How does Near-Infrared-Photoswitching work? Our newest research delivers an ultrafast molecular movie of the all-red-light photoswitch peri-Anthracenethioindigo (PAT) in action! Guided by excited-state simulations, its mechanism of motion is fully revealed. We show that PAT double bond rotation occurs exclusively from the triplet state – but it is stable in air due to very favorable energy levels.

  • SPaiNN for machine learning driven excited-state dynamics

    Towards entry "SPaiNN for machine learning driven excited-state dynamics"

    Meet SPaiNN, our open-source Python toolkit for machine learning driven excited-state dynamics!
