Abstract
The photoexcitation of weakly bound complexes can lead to several decay pathways, depending on the nature of the potential energy surfaces. Upon excitation of a chromophore in a weakly bound complex, ionization of its neighbor upon energy transfer can occur due to a unique relaxation process known as intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD), a phenomenon of renewed focus owing to its relevance in biological systems. Herein, we report the evidence for outer-valence ICD induced by multiphoton excitation by near-ultraviolet radiation of 4.4 eV photons, hitherto unknown in molecular systems. In the binary complexes of 2,6-difluorophenylacetylene with aliphatic amines, a resonant two-photon excitation localized on the 2,6-difluorophenylacetylene chromophore results in the formation of an amine cation following an outer-valence ICD process. The unique trends in experimentally observed translational energy distribution profiles of the amine cations following hydrogen bond dissociation, analyzed with the help of electronic structure and ab initio molecular dynamics calculations, revealed the presence of a delicate interplay of roaming dynamics, methyl-rotor dynamics, and binding energy.

Abstract
The highly labile complexes between phosphaethyne (HCP) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) with 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometries have been generated in Ar and N2 matrices at 10 K through laser photolysis of the molecular precursors 1-chlorophosphaethene (CH2PCl) and dichloromethylphosphine (CH3PCl2), respectively. The IR spectrum of the 1:1 complex suggests the preference of a single "T-shaped" structure in which HCl acts as the hydrogen donor that interacts with the electron-rich C≡P triple bond. In contrast, three isomeric structures for the 1:2 complex bearing a core structure of the "T-shaped" 1:1 complex are present in the matrix. The spectroscopic identification of these rare HCP π-electron complexes is supported by D-isotope labeling and the quantum chemical calculations at the CCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVTZ-F12 level of theory.

Abstract
Understanding the noncovalent interactions (NCIs) among the residues of proteins and nucleic acids, and between drugs and proteins/nucleic acids, etc., has extraordinary relevance in biomolecular structure and function. It helps in interpreting the dynamics of complex biological systems and enzymatic activity, which is esential for new drug design and efficient drug delivery. NCIs like hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) and π-stacking have been researchers' delight for a long time. Prominent among the recently discovered NCIs are halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, tetrel, carbo-hydrogen, and spodium bonding, and n → π* interaction. These NCIs have caught the imaginations of various research groups in recent years while explaining several chemical and biological processes. At this stage, a holistic view of these new ideas and findings lying scattered can undoubtedly trigger our minds to explore more. The present review attempts to address NCIs beyond H-bonding and π-stacking, which are mainly n → σ*, n → π* and σ → σ* type interactions. Five of the seven NCIs mentioned earlier are linked to five non-inert end groups of the modern periodic table. Halogen (group-17) bonding is one of the oldest and most explored NCIs, which finds its relevance in biomolecules due to the phase correction and inhibitory properties of halogens. Chalcogen (group 16) bonding serves as a redox-active functional group of different active sites of enzymes and acts as a nucleophile in proteases and phosphates. Pnictogen (group 15), tetrel (group 14), triel (group 13) and spodium (group 12) bonding does exist in biomolecules. The n → π* interactions are linked to backbone carbonyl groups and protein side chains. Thus, they are crucial in determining the conformational stability of the secondary structures in proteins. In addition, a more recently discovered to and fro σ → σ* type interaction, namely carbo-hydrogen bonding, is also present in protein-ligand systems. This review summarizes these grand epiphanies routinely used to elucidate the structure and dynamics of biomolecules, their enzymatic activities, and their application in drug discovery. It also briefs about the future perspectives and challenges posed to the spectroscopists and theoreticians.

Abstract
Imaging in real time the complete dynamics of a process as fundamental as photoemission has long been out of reach because of the difficulty of combining attosecond temporal resolution with fine spectral and angular resolutions. Here, we achieve full decoding of the intricate angle-dependent dynamics of a photoemission process in helium, spectrally and anisotropically structured by two-photon transitions through intermediate bound states. Using spectrally and angularly resolved attosecond electron interferometry, we characterize the complex-valued transition probability amplitude toward the photoelectron quantum state. This allows reconstructing in space, time, and energy the complete formation of the photoionized wave packet.

Abstract
A new experimental method has been developed to record photoelectron spectra based on the well-established pulsed-field-ionization zero-kinetic-energy photoelectron spectroscopy technique and inspired by the data treatment employed in slow photoelectron spectroscopy. This method has been successfully applied to two well-known systems: the X+2Πg,1/2(v+ = 0) ← X1Σ+g(v = 0) and the X+1Σ+(v+ = 2) ← X2Π1/2(v = 0) ionizing transitions of CO2 and NO, respectively. The first results highlight several advantages of our technique such as an improved signal-to-noise ratio without degrading the spectral resolution and a direct field-free energy determination. The data obtained for NO indicate that this method might be useful for studying field-induced autoionization processes.

Abstract
Spectroscopy of transient anions and radicals by gated and accelerated time-of-flight experiment is a new spectrometer developed in UCLouvain. This instrument measures high-resolution photodissociation spectra of mass-selected ions by the combination of a time-of-flight spectrometer including a specific gating, bunching, and re-referencing unit with a nanosecond pulsed dye laser, a pulsed deflection, and an energy selector. The ionic species are generated in a supersonic jet expansion by means of an electric discharge or by the impact of electrons coming from an electron gun. The versatility of the molecular systems that can be addressed by this instrument is illustrated by the presentation of mass spectra of cations, anions, and ionic clusters formed from different gas mixtures and backing pressures. The high-resolution spectrum of the A~2Σ+(002)←X~2Π3/2(000) and A~2Σ+(002)←X~2Π1/2(000) rovibronic bands of N2O+ has been measured and analyzed to provide refined molecular parameters in the A~2Σ+(002) upper state. The A~2Σ+(002)←X~2Π3/2(000) band has been used to evaluate the quality of the experimental setup in terms of rotational temperature, time of measurement for certain signal to noise ratio, and the accuracy of the determination of the wavenumber scale.

Abstract
Perturbation facilitated double-resonant four-wave mixing is applied to access high-lying vibrational levels of the X 1Σg + (0g +) ground state of Cu2. Rotationally resolved transitions up to v″ = 102 are measured. The highest observed level is at 98% of the dissociation energy. The range and accuracy of previous measurements are significantly extended. By applying the near dissociation equation developed by Le Roy [R. J. Le Roy, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 186, 197 (2017)], a dissociation energy of De = 16 270(7) hc cm-1 is determined, and an accurate potential energy function for the X 1Σg + (0g +) ground state is obtained. Molecular constants are determined from the measured transitions and by solving the radial Schrödinger equation using this function and are compared with results from earlier measurements. In addition, benchmark multi-reference configuration interaction computations are performed using the Douglas-Kroll-Hess Hamiltonian and the appropriate basis of augmented valence quadruple ζ type. Coupled-cluster single, double, and perturbative triple calculations were performed for comparison.

Abstract
The most stable isomer of the 1:1 complex formed by 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone and water has been characterized by combining rotational spectroscopy in supersonic expansion and state-of-the-art quantum-chemical computations. In the observed isomer, water plays the double role of proton donor and acceptor, thus forming a seven-membered ring with 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone. Accurate intermolecular parameters featuring one classical O-H···O hydrogen bond and one weak C-H···O hydrogen bond have been determined by means of a semi-experimental approach for equilibrium structure. Furthermore, insights on the nature of the established non-covalent interactions have been unveiled by means of different bond analyses. The comparison with the analogous complex formed by acetophenone with water points out the remarkable role played by fluorine atoms in tuning non-covalent interactions.

Abstract
The resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI), ultraviolet-ultraviolet (UV-UV) hole burning and mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy have been applied to investigate the vibrational features of p‑isopropylphenol in its first electronically excited state S1 and cationic ground state D0. Two stable conformational structures of p‑isopropylphenol are distinctly found in the supersonic molecular beam and identified as the cis and trans rotamers through REMPI and UV-UV hole burning spectroscopy. The electronic excitation energies of S1 ← S0 transition of two rotamers are determined to be 35,578 and 35,593 cm-1, and the adiabatic ionization energies are 65,331 and 65,350 cm-1, respectively. The MATI spectra recorded via different intermediate levels of S1 state indicate the similarity in the molecular geometry between the S1 state and the D0 state for each rotamer of p‑isopropylphenol. Geometrical optimizations of p‑isopropylphenol have also been performed using the density functional theory (DFT) for S0 and D0 states, and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for S1 state. The simulated spectra for S1 ← S0 and D0 ← S1 transitions of two rotamers are able to reproduce qualitatively the experimental spectral profile, which help us to assign the vibronic modes. Most of the observed vibrations of two rotamers in the S1 and D0 states are related to the in-plane ring deformation and some active modes involving isopropyl group.

Abstract
The accurate description of long-range electron correlation, most prominently including van der Waals (vdW) dispersion interactions, represents a particularly challenging task in the modeling of molecules and materials. vdW forces arise from the interaction of quantum-mechanical fluctuations in the electronic charge density. Within (semi-)local density functional approximations or Hartree-Fock theory such interactions are neglected altogether. Non-covalent vdW interactions, however, are ubiquitous in nature and play a key role for the understanding and accurate description of the stability, dynamics, structure, and response properties in a plethora of systems. During the last decade, many promising methods have been developed for modeling vdW interactions in electronic-structure calculations. These methods include vdW-inclusive Density Functional Theory and correlated post-Hartree-Fock approaches. Here, we focus on the methods within the framework of Density Functional Theory, including non-local van der Waals density functionals, interatomic dispersion models within many-body and pairwise formulation, and random phase approximation-based approaches. This review aims to guide the reader through the theoretical foundations of these methods in a tutorial-style manner and, in particular, highlight practical aspects such as the applicability and the advantages and shortcomings of current vdW-inclusive approaches. In addition, we give an overview of complementary experimental approaches, and discuss tools for the qualitative understanding of non-covalent interactions as well as energy decomposition techniques. Besides representing a reference for the current state-of-the-art, this work is thus also designed as a concise and detailed introduction to vdW-inclusive electronic structure calculations for a general and broad audience.

Abstract
The dynamic and static nature of XH-*-π and YX-*-π in the coronene π-system (π(C24H12)) is elucidated by QTAIM dual functional analysis, where * emphasizes the presence of bond critical points (BCPs) in the interactions. The nature of the interactions is elucidated by analysing the plots of the total electron energy densities H b(r c) versus H b(r c) - V b(r c)/2 [=(ħ 2/8m)∇2 ρ b(r c)] for the interactions at BCPs, where V b(r c) are the potential energy densities at the BCPs. The data for the perturbed structures around the fully optimized structures are employed for the plots in addition to those of the fully optimized structures. The plots are analysed using the polar coordinate of (R, θ) for the data of the fully optimized structures, while those containing the perturbed structures are analysed using (θ p, κ p), where θ p corresponds to the tangent line of each plot and κ p is the curvature. Whereas (R, θ) show the static nature, (θ p, κ p) represent the dynamic nature of the interactions. All interactions in X-H-*-π(C24H12) (X = F, Cl, Br and I) and Y-X-*-π(C24H12) (Y-X = F-F, Cl-Cl, Br-Br, I-I, F-Cl, F-Br and F-I) are classified by pure CS (closed shell) interactions and are characterized as having the vdW nature, except for X-H = F-H and Y-X = F-Cl, F-Br and F-I, which show the typical-HB nature without covalency. The structural features of the complexes are also discussed.

Abstract
The relationship between exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and skin cancer urges the need for extra photoprotection, which is presently provided by widespread commercially available sunscreen lotions. Apart from having a large absorption cross section in the UVA and UVB regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, the chemical absorbers in these photoprotective products should also be able to dissipate the excess energy in a safe way, i.e. without releasing photoproducts or inducing any further, harmful, photochemistry. While sunscreens are tested for both their photoprotective capability and dermatological compatibility, phenomena occurring at the molecular level upon absorption of UV radiation are largely overlooked. To date, there is only a limited amount of information regarding the photochemistry and photophysics of these sunscreen molecules. However, a thorough understanding of the intrinsic mechanisms by which popular sunscreen molecular constituents dissipate excess energy has the potential to aid in the design of more efficient, safer sunscreens. In this review, we explore the potential of using gas-phase frequency- and time-resolved spectroscopies in an effort to better understand the photoinduced excited-state dynamics, or photodynamics, of sunscreen molecules. Complementary computational studies are also briefly discussed. Finally, the future outlook of expanding these gas-phase studies into the solution phase is considered.

Abstract
The mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectra of jet-cooled cis- and trans-3-fluoro-N-methylaniline (3FNMA) were recorded by ionizing via the vibrationless 0(0) and various vibrational levels of the S1 state. The adiabatic ionization energies of cis- and trans-3FNMA are determined to be 61,742 ± 5 and 61,602 ± 5 cm(-1), respectively. In the 0-1800 cm(-1) region, most of the observed vibrations in the D0 state result from the in-plane ring deformation and substituent-sensitive modes. For the high-frequency vibration region, the infrared-ultraviolet double-resonance and autoionization-detected infrared spectroscopies were applied to investigate the N-H and C-H stretching vibrations of bare 3FNMA in the S0 and D0 states. The C-H stretching vibrational information, which we failed to obtain for the bare 3FNMA cation, is complemented by recording the infrared-photodissociation spectra of its Ar cluster cation. It is revealed that a red-shifted frequency and an enhanced intensity are observed for the N-H stretch, while blue-shifted frequencies and greatly decreased intensities are found for both aromatic and the methyl C-H stretches. The blue shift of the C-H stretches is first explained by the balance of two factors, namely, the hyperconjugative interaction and the rehybridization effect. Analysis of the vibrational frequencies reveals a correlation between the relative stability of two rotamers in different electronic states and the relative rigidity of aromatic ring, indicating a mechanism of the long-range interactions "through bond" between the substituents. The density functional theory calculations can well reproduce the vibrational spectra in both S0 and D0 states. With the experimental and theoretical data, the substitution and conformation effects on the properties of 3FNMA in the S0 and D0 states, including the molecular structures, the reactive sites of electrophilic attack, and the vibrational behaviors, were discussed in detail.

Abstract
The novel spectral behaviors of Aloesaponarin 1 (AS1) are investigated by studying the dynamics process of excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). Two intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HB1 and HB2) are formed between hydroxyl and carbonyl groups of AS1. The calculated potential energy curves of AS1 demonstrate that the ESIPT process along HB1 is energy favorable while not along HB2. The analysis of potential energy curves describes clearly the dynamic behaviors of the proton transfer process from hydroxyl group to carbonyl group along HB1. The infrared spectra of AS1 confirm that the stretching absorption peak of hydroxyl group in HB1 disappears and that a new peak corresponding to hydroxyl group appears in the first excited state, which depicts the ESIPT process indirectly. The fluorescence peaks of AS1 (636nm), AS2 (Aloesaponarin 1 3-O-methyl ether, 629 nm) and AS3 (Aloesaponarin 1 8-O-methyl ether, 522 nm) demonstrate that the fluorescence behavior of AS1 is primarily effected by HB1 rather than HB2. The large Stokes shifts of AS1 (206 nm) indicate that the absorbed energy is partly transferred to non-harmful long fluorescence through ESIPT process, which plays important role in the explanation for the UV protection property of AS1. The inducement and influence factors of ESIPT process of AS1 are illustrated by analyzing electrostatic potential, molecular orbital and natural bond orbital.

Abstract
London dispersion, which constitutes the attractive part of the famous van der Waals potential, has long been underappreciated in molecular chemistry as an important element of structural stability, and thus affects chemical reactivity and catalysis. This negligence is due to the common notion that dispersion is weak, which is only true for one pair of interacting atoms. For increasingly larger structures, the overall dispersion contribution grows rapidly and can amount to tens of kcal mol(-1) . This Review collects and emphasizes the importance of inter- and intramolecular dispersion for molecules consisting mostly of first row atoms. The synergy of experiment and theory has now reached a stage where dispersion effects can be examined in fine detail. This forces us to reconsider our perception of steric hindrance and stereoelectronic effects. The quantitation of dispersion energy donors will improve our ability to design sophisticated molecular structures and much better catalysts.

Abstract
4-propylaniline complexes with one and two argon atoms formed in the molecular beam were studied in the first excited electronic state, S1, using resonance enhanced two-photon ionization spectroscopy and in the cation ground state, D0, using mass analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopy. The combination of electronic and cationic spectra of the clusters allows two conformations to be identified in both aniline-Ar1 and aniline-Ar2, which are assigned to either the gauche configuration or anti-configuration of 4-propylaniline. The gauche isomer exhibits complex bands shifted 29 cm(-1) and 89 cm(-1) from the S1 origin bands and 83 cm(-1) and 148 cm(-1) from the ionization potential assigned to the Ar1 and Ar2 complexes, respectively. For the anti-rotamer, the corresponding shifts actually become nearly additive, 53 cm(-1) and 109 cm(-1) for the S1 origin bands, and 61 cm(-1) and 125 cm(-1) for the ionization potentials. Ab initio calculations provide insights into the influences of the propyl and amino groups on the positions of the argon atoms within the clusters. In addition, the binding energy of one argon with the gauche isomer of 4-propylaniline has been measured to be 550 ± 5 cm(-1) in the D0 state, 496 ± 5 cm(-1) in the S1 state, and 467 ± 5 cm(-1) in the neutral ground state, S0.

Abstract
Compared to single ion/electron-optics for velocity-map imaging, a double-focusing lens assembly designed not only allows for mapping velocity imaging of photoelectrons but also allows for investigating the vibrational structure of the intermediate states of neutral species in resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra. In this presentation, in order to record REMPI and photoelectron spectra separately, we have constructed a compact photoelectron velocity-map imaging (VMI) apparatus combined with an opposite linear Wiley-Mclaren time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS). A mass resolution (m/Δm) of ∼1300 for TOFMS and electron energy resolution (ΔE/E) of 2.4% for VMI have been achieved upon three-photon ionization of Xe atom at 258.00 nm laser wavelength. As a benchmark, in combination of one-color (1 + 1) REMPI and photoelectron imaging of benzene via 6(1) and 6(1)1(1) vibronic levels in the S1 state, the vibrational structures of the cation and photoelectron angular anisotropy are unraveled. In addition, two-color (1 + 1') REMPI and photoelectron imaging of aniline was used to complete the accurate measurement of ionization potential (62,271 ± 3 cm(-1)). The results suggest that the apparatus is a powerful tool for studying photoionization dynamics in the photoelectron imaging using vibrational-state selected excitation to the intermediate states of neutrals based on REMPI technique.

Abstract
We have investigated noncovalent interactions of two aromatic compounds (toluene and p-cresol) with Xe atoms by using infrared spectroscopy in a Ne matrix and quantum chemical calculations. The present results show that the methyl group of these molecules is a sensitive probe of the interaction with Xe. We have used the molecules with the deuterated methyl group, possessing a relatively simple spectrum, which allows us to detect characteristic vibrational shifts in the complexes, in which a Xe atom interacts with the aromatic π electron system (π structure). For the p-cresol···Xe complex, we also observed evidence of the 1:1 H-bonded structure. The amount of the H-bonded structure of the cresol···Xe complex is relatively small, which agrees with the calculated interaction energies (stronger interaction for the π structure). The bands of the 1:1 complexes of p-cresol and toluene with Xe appear at low Xe concentration and their intensities relative to the monomer bands are nearly proportional to the Xe/Ne concentration ratio. For the p-cresol-Xe system, additional OH stretching bands appear at higher Xe concentrations, which are suitable for the complexes with several Xe atoms. The π structures studied in this work can probably be formed in the case of aromatic amino acids, for which these simple aromatic compounds are useful models.

Abstract
No dehydrogenation reaction occurs in the ground state of dihydrogen bonded phenol–BTMA. TS-S10 points to the formation of a hydrogen molecule, while TS-S11 points to the B atom. The dehydrogenation reaction along TS-S10 is energy favorable, unlike that along TS-S11.

Abstract
The present study illustrates the steps toward understanding molecular mechanism of xenon anesthesia by focusing on a link to the structures and spectra of intermolecular complexes of xenon with small aromatic molecules. A primary cause of xenon anesthesia is attributed to inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors by an unknown mechanism. Following the results of quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) calculations we report plausible xenon action sites in the ligand binding domain of the NMDA receptor, which are due to interaction of xenon atoms with aromatic amino-acid residues. We rely in these calculations on computational protocols adjusted in combined experimental and theoretical studies of intermolecular complexes of xenon with phenol. Successful reproduction of vibrational shifts in molecular species upon complexation with xenon measured in low-temperature matrices allowed us to select a proper functional form in density functional theory (DFT) approach for use in QM subsystems, as well as to calibrate force field parameters for MD simulations. The results of molecular modeling show that xenon atoms can compete with agonists for a place in the corresponding protein cavity, thus indicating their active role in anesthetic action.

Abstract
Mass-selected IR plus UV/VUV spectroscopy and mass spectrometry have been coupled into a powerful technique to investigate chemical, physical, structural, and electronic properties of radicals, molecules, and clusters. Advantages of the use of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation to create ions for mass spectrometry are its application to nearly all compounds with ionization potentials below the energy of a single VUV photon, its circumventing the requirement of UV chromophore group, its inability to ionize background gases, and its greatly reduced fragmenting capabilities. In this review, mass-selected IR plus VUV (118 nm) spectroscopy is introduced first in a general manner. Selected application examples of this spectroscopy are presented, which include the detections and structural analysis of radicals, molecules, and molecular clusters in a supersonic jet.

Abstract
The emergent properties that arise from self-assembly and molecular recognition phenomena are a direct consequence of non-covalent interactions. Gas-phase measurements and computational methods point to the dominance of dispersion forces in molecular association, but solvent effects complicate the unambiguous quantification of these forces in solution. Here, we have used synthetic molecular balances to measure interactions between apolar alkyl chains in 31 organic, fluorous and aqueous solvent environments. The experimental interaction energies are an order of magnitude smaller than estimates of dispersion forces between alkyl chains that have been derived from vaporization enthalpies and dispersion-corrected calculations. Instead, it was found that cohesive solvent-solvent interactions are the major driving force behind apolar association in solution. The results suggest that theoretical models that implicate important roles for dispersion forces in molecular recognition events should be interpreted with caution in solvent-accessible systems.

Abstract
The intermolecular interaction of free-base porphine (FBP)-Ar2 and free-base tetraazaporphyrin (FBPz)-Ar2 van der Waals (vdW) complexes was calculated in the ground state and vertical excitations that correspond to the Q- and B-bands using the many-body wavefunction theory of the symmetry-adapted cluster-configuration interaction (SAC-CI) method and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). For the 1(1)B3u state of FBP-Ar2 a blueshift (high-energy shift) of excitation energy was calculated using the SAC-CI method; such a blueshift was not obtained by TDDFT calculations. This calculated blueshift corresponds to the experimentally observed blueshift in the Qx-band of FBP for FBP-Arn complexes. For FBPz-Ar2, blueshifts of the Q-band were not obtained using SAC-CI and TDDFT. These behaviors of the energy shift of the Q-bands could not be explained by the point dipole-point dipole interaction model. Large redshifts (low-energy shift) were obtained for the B-band states (2(1)B3u and 2(1)B2u) of FBP and FBPz. The energy shift showed the inverse sixth-power dependence on the intermolecular distance. The point dipole-point dipole interaction model can describe the redshift of the B-band. For the excited states that exhibit large redshifts, the TDDFT can qualitatively describe the vdW interaction in the excited states by supermolecular calculations. The solvatochromic shifts for FBP and FBPz in an Ar matrix were examined by the linear-response polarizable continuum model and TDDFT. The magnitude of calculated solvatochromic redshifts is proportional to the square of the transition dipole moment.

Abstract
AbstractThe excited states of cis-trans formic acid dimer and its monomers have been investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds O1-H1...O2=C2 and C2-H2...O4=C1 induces bond length lengthening of the groups related to the hydrogen bond, while that of the C2-H2 group is shortened. It is demonstrated that the red-shift hydrogen bond O1-H1...O2=C2 and blue-shift hydrogen bond C2-H2...O4=C1 are both weakened when excited to the S1 state. Moreover, it is found that the groups related to the formation of red-shift hydrogen bond O1-H1...O2=C2 are both strengthened in the S1 state, while the groups related to the blue-shift hydrogen bond C2-H2...O4=C1 are both weakened. This will provide information for the photochemistry and photophysical study of red- and blue-shift hydrogen bond.
