Spectral tuning of 11-cis retinal in conjugation with Au14 cluster and concomitant effect on isomerization: A theoretical outlook

The present study explores the optical properties of retinal molecules in presence of small gold cluster (Au14), where the cluster motifs are varied through Oh, D2h and C4v symmetries. The constructive interference of the transition dipole moments (TDMs) in retinal-gold nanoconjugates is responsible...
