Fluorescence is a radiative de-excitation process that competes with many other nonradiative pathways. Optimizing the fluorescence efficiency, that is, maximizing its quantum yield (ϕfl), remains a major experimental target, especially for fluorophores emitting in the red region. In this context, obtaining accurate theoretical estimates of ϕfl is highly desirable, but remains challenging irrespective of the selected computational strategy. In this seminar, I will discuss some benchmarks in the field, and next illustrate, for several practical examples performed in close collaboration with experimental groups, successes and failures in the calculation of ϕfl of organic dyes using a static approach. In this approach, one uses the so-called Thermal Vibration Correlation Formalism of the Shuai’ group, to estimate both the radiative (kr) and internal conversion (kic) rates in the framework of Fermi’s golden rule, whereas other de-excitation pathways such as the inter-system crossing (ISC) or twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) have to be evaluated separately. Such computational strategy is becoming increasingly popular, and a few advices will be given at the end of the talk for newbies.

  International Conference  

CFF is a yearly international conference, which has reached its 8th edition, on the frontiers of Chemical Research. The idea of CFF is to convey every year several outstanding scientists from different sectors of chemistry. Every edition of CFF is organized by the 2nd-year PhD students of the Doctoral School in Chemistry and Materials Science (DSCM) of the University of Pisa.
