Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, including electron correlation, were carried out on the N2 + N2+ electron transfer system. Six geometries of the precursor complex were assumed and their stabilities were calculated and compared. The activation energy, the electronic transmission factor, and the electronic coupling matrix element in the electron transfer process were also calculated. The electronic transmission factor for this system was far less than unity (ca. 0.006~0.09); thus, the electron transfer reaction was considered to be diabatic in nature. Therefore, the electron transfer rate for the selected structures was calculated using semiclassical and quantum-mechanical theories. The calculated values were compared with each other and were in good agreement with the experimental value.Key words: N2 + N2+ electron transfer reaction, semiclassical and quantum-mechanical theories, electronic transmission factor, electronic coupling matrix element, B3LYP.

AbstractAggregation-induced emission (AIE) has proven to be a viable strategy to achieve highly efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in bulk by restricting molecular motions. Here, we show that by utilizing triphenylamine (TPA) as an electronic donor that connects to an acceptor via an sp3 linker, six TPA-based AIE-active RTP luminophores were obtained. Distinct dual phosphorescence bands emitting from largely localized donor and acceptor triplet emitting states could be recorded at lowered temperatures; at room temperature, only a merged RTP band is present. Theoretical investigations reveal that the two temperature-dependent phosphorescence bands both originate from local/global minima from the lowest triplet excited state (T1). The reported molecular construct serves as an intermediary case between a fully conjugated donor-acceptor system and a donor/acceptor binary mix, which may provide important clues on the design and control of high-freedom molecular systems with complex excited-state dynamics.
