Abstract
Two-photon absorption (TPA) at versus applied hydrostatic pressure (p) (up to 20 GPa) and temperature (T) (in the 77–300 K range) was used to study intermolecular dynamics in powderlike fullerene-1,3-dithiolic adduct and systems. For -1,3-dithiole adduct, we observed a sharplike maxim of the TPA versus below 230 K. Comparing the obtained results with those of we have unambiguously shown that the observed behaviors are connected with the adding of the 1,3-dithiole core. To explain the experimental results, we performed ab initio molecular-dynamics geometry optimization, taking into account the superposition of all possible molecular conformations with appropriate weighting factors and higher-order intermolecular multipole interactions. We have shown an increase of the absolute value of the TPA coefficient in the cycloadduct by more than 30%. This fact is mainly caused by the asymmetry of intramolecular electronic charge-density asymmetry. The modulatedlike dependence of the TPA versus p and T have been observed. The latter one reflects the vibration and rotational contributions to the TPA values.
