Quantum Simulation of Solution Phase Intramolecular Electron Transfer Rates in Betaine-30
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mixed quantum-classical atomistic simulations have been carried out to investigate the mechanistic details of excited state intramolecular electron transfer in a betaine-30 molecule in acetonitrile. The key electronic degrees of freedom of the solute molecule are treated quantum mechanically using the semiempirical Pariser-Parr-Pople Hamiltonian, including the solvent influence on electronic structure. The intramolecular vibrational modes are also treated explicitly at a quantum level, with the remaining elements treated classically using empirical potentials. The electron-transfer rate, corresponding to S1 --> S0 relaxation, is evaluated via time-dependent perturbation theory with the explicit inclusion of the dynamics of solvation and intramolecular conformation. The calculations reveal that, while solvation dynamics is critical to the rate, the intramolecular torsional dynamics also plays an important role. The importance of the use of multiple high-frequency quantum modes is also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
