20. The model is based on a quantum chemical simulations of the potential and vibrational modes of neutral and ionic TTF-CA dimer and tetramer units. For the DFT simulations the Gaussian 98 program package (B3LYP, 6-31 G basis set) (18) has been used. It should be noted that stationary infrared measurements reveal that the active modes supporting the equilibrium neutral-to-ionic phase transition are strongly affected by vibronic and electron-phonon couplings. (19) From the softening of the potential energy hypersurface in the coordinates describing oscillations with strong vibronic couplings, we estimate a possible increase of the displacement of the sulfur atom by maximally 0.1 Å for TTF-CA in the excited state.
