Photoacid-dissociation mechanism in microhydrated NH2OH clusters consist of the S0 → S1 excitation, formation of the NH2O˙–H3O+˙ complex, H-bond chain extension and fluctuation of the local-dielectric environment.

For protonated H3PO4 clusters, the Eigen–Zundel–Eigen mechanism is enhanced by fluctuations in the H-bond chain length and local-dielectric environment, and can proceed without the reorientation of H3PO4 molecules as in the case of neat liquid H3PO4.

Recently, a new method [P. Partovi-Azar and D. Sebastiani, J. Chem. Phys. 152, 064101 (2020)] was proposed to increase the efficiency of proton transfer energy calculations in density functional theory by using the T1 state with additional optimized effective potentials instead of calculations at S1. In this work, we focus on proton transfer from six prototypical photoacids to neighboring water molecules and show that the reference proton dissociation curves obtained at S1 states using time-dependent density functional theory can be reproduced with a reasonable accuracy by performing T1 calculations at density functional theory level with only one additional effective potential for the acidic hydrogens. We also find that the extra effective potentials for the acidic hydrogens neither change the nature of the T1 state nor the structural properties of solvent molecules upon transfer from the acids. The presented method is not only beneficial for theoretical studies on excited state proton transfer, but we believe that it would also be useful for studying other excited state photochemical reactions.
