The geometric, energetic, and spectroscopic properties of the ground state and the lowest four singlet excited states of pyrazine have been studied by using DFT/TD-DFT, CASSCF, CASPT2, and related quantum chemical calculations. The second singlet nπ* state, (1)A(u), which is conventionally regarded dark due to the dipole-forbidden (1)A(u)←(1)A(g) transition, has been investigated in detail. Our new simulation has shown that the state could be visible in the absorption spectrum by intensity borrowing from neighboring nπ* (1)B(3u) and ππ* (1)B(2u) states through vibronic coupling. The scans on potential-energy surfaces further indicated that the (1)A(u) state intersects with the (1)B(2u) states near the equilibrium of the latter, thus implying its participation in the ultrafast relaxation process.

Malassezia furfur is the primary etiological agent of dandruff (Pityriasis capitis). Although herbal shampoos are preferred for their natural, mild ingredients over synthetic counterparts, they are often perceived as less effective in managing flaky scalp conditions or furfuration causing dandruff. The study compares the antifungal efficacy of herbal and synthetic shampoos against M.
