Resveratrol photophysics: what do we know so far?

This presentation will focus into the research conducted during my visit here at Aix Marseille University. The focus of the study was on the resveratrol molecule, which exhibits greater stability as the trans isomer but can transition to the cis isomer upon excitation. We employed nonadiabatic molecular dynamics using the semiempirical method MRCI/ODM2 to explore resveratrol’s photophysics. Subsequently, linear interpolation in internal coordinates calculations was conducted at the CASPT2(10,10) level to analyze the feasibility of these reaction pathways. In the seminar I am going to discuss the several reactions pathways including the possibility of volume conserving trans-cis isomerization.
