Radiationless decay of RFP chromophore (DFHBFSI) via twisted intramolecular charge-transfer state. (A) Equilibrium geometry configurations at the minimum energy point of ground state S0 (S0-min) and the minimum energy point of excited state S1 (S1-min). (B) Potential energy surfaces of S1 (red) and S0 (blue) as well as oscillator strength (fosc) along the phenoxy-twisted photoisomerization pathway. (C) Charge density difference isosurfaces (isovalue = ±0.0075) at the phenoxy-twisted minimum energy conical intersection (MECI) between S1 and S0 (S0/S1 MECI, φ = 55o). Positive isosurfaces are red, and negative isosurfaces are blue.
