Popis: We theoretically investigated phenyl(phenyl isocyanide) gold(I) (PhNC)Au(Ph) 1 and phenyl(dimethylphenyl isocyanide) gold(I) (dimPhNC)Au(Ph) 2 in crystal using our periodic quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) method based on the self-consistent point charges to elucidate interesting mechano-chemical changes of absorption and emission spectra of 1 and 2 in crystal. To characterize 1 and 2 in crystal, their absorption and emission spectra in crystal were compared to those in gas phase and CHCl3 solvent, where a three-dimensional reference interaction site model self-consistent field (3D-RISM-SCF) was employed to incorporate solvation effect. To investigate the phosphorescence spectrum in crystal, we optimized the geometry of the molecule at the triplet state in crystal which had ground-state geometry because the population of the excited state is generally very small. The QM/MM calculations showed that 1 formed two polymorphs 1b and 1y, 2 formed two polymorphs 2b and 2g, and 1y was more stable tha...
