Low-lying singlet excited-state aromaticity of porphin
摘要
A generalized spectroscopic criterion for assessing excited-state aromaticity is developed and applied to determine the aromaticity of the low-lying singlet excited states (S1, S2, S3, and S4) of porphin. Predictions from spectroscopic criterion are validated by magnetically induced current calculations. The analysis performed reveals that magnetic dipole-allowed transitions can be used for a fast, qualitative prediction of excited-state aromaticity.
