A detailed insight behind the structure of absorption bands of the photochromic couple dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP)/metacyclophanediene (CPD) is studied employing vibronic coupling theory. Two separate model molecular Hamiltonians, including a maximum of four electronic states and 18 vibrational modes for DHP and five electronic states and 20 vibrational modes for CPD, are constructed in a diabatic electronic representation. The parameters of the Hamiltonians are estimated from the electronic energies obtained from extensive density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculations. Based on these Hamiltonians’ parameters, a detailed analysis of potential energy curves is performed in conjunction with positional and energetic locations of several stationary points in multi-dimensional potential energy surfaces. Based on the results of electronic structure calculations, quantum nuclear dynamics studies on the electronic excited states of DHP and CPD are performed to understand the impact of non-adiabatic effects on the formation of vibronic structures of absorption bands of these photo-isomers.
