Abstract
Fraga potential calculations with atomic point charges and geometrical parameters calculated from AM1 calculations have been used to calculate spectral shifts upon electronic excitation in twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) systems due to intermolecular interactions. Changes of atomic polarizabilities have also been taken into account. Present calculations deal with absorption transitions of the p‐N,N‐dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) surrounded by methane, water, acetone, or acetonitrile solvent molecules. The methodology permits us to evaluate the influence of the solvent molecule on DMABN dimethylamino motions and to find the most stable conformation of a cluster configuration which can lead to a blue or red shift. The results have been compared with the experimental work of Warren et al.^7^ and confirm their analysis. © 1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
