Аннотация:Abstract: The interaction of small analyte molecules (NH3, C2H5OH, and (CH3)2CO) in the gas phase with the 9-(diphenylamino)acridine dye adsorbed on an amorphous silica surface is studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the cluster approach. Two cluster models for the silica surface are considered: a small SiH3OH model and an extended Si10O11(OH)18 one, constructed using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The electronic absorption spectra of the adsorbed dye are calculated within the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) formalism and the effects of dyeanalyte interactions are investigated. The spectral line broadening due to vibrations is estimated within the Pekar model. A computationally efficient procedure is proposed for the prediction of changes in the absorption spectra of organic dyes adsorbed on silica on their interaction with analytes.
