I present a time-dependent density functional study of the 20 low-lying excited states as well the ground states of the zinc dimer Zn2, analyze its spectrum obtained from all electrons calculations performed using time-depended density functional with a relativistic 4-component and relativistic spin-free Hamiltonian as implemented in Dirac-Package, and show a comparison of the results obtained from different well-known and newly developed density functional approximations, a comparison with the literature and experimental values as far as available. The results are very encouraging, especially for the lowest excited states of this dimer. However, the results show that long-range corrected functionals such as CAMB3LYP gives the correct asymptotic behavior for the higher states, and for which the best result is obtained. A comparable result is obtained from PBE0 functional. Spin-free Hamiltonian is shown to be very efficient for relativistic systems such as Zn2.

Using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), the excited states of the analogue model Mg -bacteriochlorophyll b - imidazole ( BChl -Im) dimer (P) for a special pair in the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) of Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) viridis were examined. The calculated low-lying excited states and optimal geometries are in good agreement with experimental data. The order of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energies of P, the monomeric "accessory" BChl -Im (B), and bacteriopheophytin b ( H ) indicates the possibility of the light-induced electron transfer from P to H via B. The Im ligand of B destabilizes Goutermann's four-orbitals of BChl by 0.3-0.4 eV. With no energetic difference in the LUMOs between H and BChl , the Im ligands of P and B play an important role in providing a greater energetic gradient to the LUMOs along with the pathway for the excited-electron transfer in RC, resulting in the reduced reverse electron transfer from H to P (via B). Thus it is expected that the asymmetric Mg -Im interactions will directly affect the pathway of the excited-electron transfer. Using the deformed heterodimer (P') formed by the BChl halves with and without Im as the primary donor model, its cation radical P'+ was calculated as to whether the experimental asymmetric spin-density distribution can reproduce. The excited states of the analogue model Zn - BChl -Im dimer for a special pair in RC of the recently discovered Acidiphilium rubrum were also examined for a comparison with P.

The process of multielectron transfer from a Na 4 cluster induced by highly charged C 6+, C 4+, C 2+ and C + ions is studied using the method of time-dependent density functional theory within the local density approximation combined with the use of pseudopotential. The evolution of dipole moment changes and emitted electrons in Na 4 is obtained and the time-dependent probabilities with various charges are deduced. It is shown that the Na 4 cluster is strongly ionized by C 6+ and that the number of emitted electrons per atom of Na 4 is larger than that of Na 2 under the same condition. One can find that the detailed information of the emitted electrons from Na 4 is different from the same from Na 2, which is possibly related to the difference in structure between the two clusters.
