Impact of vibronic coupling effects on light-driven charge transfer in pyrene-functionalized middle and large-sized metalloid gold nanoclusters from Ehrenfest dynamics.

Theoretical calculations are an effective strategy to complement and understand the experimental results in atomistic detail. Ehrenfest molecular dynamics simulations based on the real-time time-dependent density functional tight-binding (RT-TDDFTB) approach are performed to reveal for the first time the electron dynamics for the charge separation of pyrene-functionalized middle-sized Au
