Abstract

Quantum mechanical calculations for the energetics and nuclear dynamics of anthracene·Hen (n=1,2) clusters in the ground electronic state (SO) and in the first spin-allowed electronically excited state (S1) were carried out. The anomalous shifts and the vibrational level structure in the electronic-vibrational excitations of anthracene·Hen (n=1-4) clusters were examined. As a result, the implication of spatial delocalization, of horizontal large scale nuclear motion and of He-He interactions in these floppy quantum clusters was elucidated.
