Abstract:Paratrimerin C is a natural acridone antioxidant that is also potent as an anti‐UV agent. The photophysical process of Paratrimerin C, including the absorption and emission and the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) mechanism, is studied herein with time‐dependent density functional theory. The solvent effect on ESIPT is studied for polar (water) and non‐polar (benzene) solvents employing the Integral Equation Formalism Polarization Continuum Model and adding up to three explicit molecules of… Show more
