Steric and electric field driven distortions in aromatic molecules: spontaneous and non-spontaneous symmetry breaking

The structures of molecules form the cornerstone of our chemical knowledge. Lowering of symmetry in closed-shell molecules is often attributed to the Pseudo Jahn–Teller (PJT) distortions wherein non-adiabatic coupling (NAC) between the ground state and excited states creates vibrational instability along specific normal modes. Nevertheless, other factors like steric interactions are also well known in the literature to induce structural distortions. In this article, we consider two specific cases of molecular distortions – the first one being spontaneous for contorted polyaromatic hydrocarbons (c-PAH) where non-bonded repulsions between the two pairs of syn H-atoms in tribenzopyrene, TBP (1), can enforce either a C2v → C2 or C2v → Cs distortion. PJT-effects account for the correct preference of the Cs structure over C2 (by 4.6 kcal mol−1). The second case (non-spontaneous symmetry breaking) is that of benzene (2) and coronene (3) which upon application of sufficiently strong static external electric field develop vibrational instability along q(a2u) to cause D6h → C6v and D6h → C2 distortions for 2 and 3 respectively. An external electric field (FZ) was applied parallel to the aromatic ring of 2–3 for investigation of non-spontaneous symmetry breaking. Such electric field induced structural distortion is understood on the basis of excess charge accumulation of the planar rings which is circumvented by symmetry lowering. PJT effects seem to have significant consequences for identification of global minima amongst several local minimal molecular structures.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
