Time-resolved linear dichroism spectroscopy has been used to study the influence of solvent on the charge transfer complex formed between hexamethylbenzene and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene. It was shown that cyano-substituted solvents induce a 1500 cm–1 increase in the charge transfer transition energies relative to those observed in chlorinated solvents. Furthermore, the angle between the charge transfer absorption transition moments and the photochemically produced radical anion absorption transition moment, after relaxation, has been measured for this complex in several solvents. A simple model was used to correlate the angles measured using time-resolved linear dichroism spectroscopy with the extent of localized excitation mixed into the charge transfer transitions. These measurements reveal that different charge transfer transitions borrow intensity from the localized excitation to different extents. By using different excitation wavelengths, the partitioning of the borrowed intensity among the charge transfer transitions of this complex could be evaluated for the first time.Key words: 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene, hexamethylbenzene, donor–acceptor complex, photoinduced electron transfer, photoselection.

We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to create and study single molecule junctions with thioether-terminated oligothiophene molecules. We find that the conductance of these junctions increases upon formation of charge transfer complexes of the molecules with tetracyanoethene, and that the extent of the conductance increase is greater the longer is the oligothiophene, i.e. the lower is the conductance of the uncomplexed molecule in the junction. We use non-equilibrium Green's function transport calculations to explore the reasons for this theoretically, and find that new resonances appear in the transmission function, pinned close to the Fermi energy of the contacts, as a consequence of the charge transfer interaction. This is an example of a room temperature quantum interference effect, which in this case boosts junction conductance in contrast to earlier observations of QI that result in diminished conductance.<br>
