摘要: 我们设计了一个以酚酞变色机理为背景的分子模拟实验项目,实验内容涵盖分子模型构建、结构优化、前线轨道分析和光谱计算,使学生能够从电子结构层面深入理解pH诱导的酚酞分子结构变化与颜色变化的内在关联。作为酸碱滴定实验的延伸拓展,本项目通过可视化分子模型将酚酞分子颜色的变化具象化,有效促进了学生对酸碱指示剂作用原理的深层次理解。

Abstract: We developed a molecular simulation experiment focusing on the color-changing mechanism of phenolphthalein. The project incorporates molecular model construction, structural optimization, frontier orbital analysis, and spectral calculations, allowing students to explore the electronic-level correlation between pH-induced molecular structural changes and corresponding color variations. Serving as an extension to conventional acid-base titration experiments, this approach employs molecular visualization to demonstrate phenolphthalein's color transition, thereby facilitating students’ fundamental understanding of acid-base indicator mechanisms.
