AbstractThe electronic excited states corresponding to singlet oxygen generation versus O–O splitting ino-fluorine-phenyl-9-anthracene-9,10-endoperoxide1and its 9,10-bisarylanthracene analog2have been investigated using theoretical methods. In the case of the smaller endoperoxide1, the recently developed second-order perturbation theory restricted active space (RASPT2) method has been employed and the results are compared to those from the complete active space (CASPT2), second-order approximated coupled cluster (CC2), and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) approaches. In addition to the vertical excited states, the photochemical path leading to homolytic O–O dissociation has been computed. This process is governed by a point, where four singlet and four triplet states are almost degenerate and show substantial spin-orbit coupling. The results obtained with RASPT2 indicate that theS1state is of πoo*σoo*character, corresponding to the O–O homolytic dissociation, while higher excited statesSn(n≥ 2) correspond to local and charge transfer excitations and should be correlated to the generation of singlet molecular oxygen. A similar photochemical picture is obtained with CASPT2, although two different active spaces are required to describe different parts of the spectrum. The calculations carried out with CC2 as well as the functionals CAM-B3LYP and the B3LYP(32) containing 32 % of exact exchange show good agreement with the RASPT2 energies, but present a strong mixing of πoo*σoo*and πoo*πan*excitations in the lowestS1state, contradicting the assignment of RASPT2/CASPT2. The use of BP86 is strongly discouraged since it misplaces a large number of charge transfer states below the πoo*σoo*state. The excited states of2, calculated with B3LYP(32) are very similar to those of1, leading to the conclusion that both endoperoxides should show a similar photochemistry, that is, the O–O cleavage seems to be partially quenched and singlet oxygen generation is enhanced, in comparison with the parent compound, anthracene-9,10-endoperoxide.Graphical abstractThe different electronic excited states ofo-fluorine-phenyl-9-anthracene-9,10-endoperoxide have been benchmarked with RASPT2. The lowest excited state corresponds to the homolytic O–O dissociation and higher excited states are connected to singlet oxygen generation.
