Electron delocalization in conjugated organic molecules is a rate-limiting step in maximizing the photo conversion efficiency of next generation photovoltaics and molecular electronics.


Nine vibrational absorption bands of dideutero-acetylene have been examined with very high resolving power. The rotational constants have been determined for the vibrational levels concerned, and the coefficients α i have been determined with more convincing accuracy than previously. In some of the bands the Q branches have been resolved, so that the l -doubling coefficients q i could be derived, and details could be established about the doublet components in some II levels. The results emphasize the need of high resolution if the vibrational assignments are to be unambiguous, and if reliable values of the rotational constants are to be derived. A value of B e has been obtained, and the vibrational anharmonicity coefficients have been considered briefly. Estimates of the centrifugal stretching constants D i in different vibrational states have been made, and one anomalous case has been found.

The corrections to rate constants for an harmonicity of vibrational excited states have been evaluated over the temperature range of 200–1100 K. The reaction O2 + X, where X is H or D, has been chosen as the model system. Only the influence of vibrational anharmonicity of the triatomic transition state has been determined. Two geometric shapes for the transition state, bent and isosceles configurations, have been investigated in detail by the bond order method.It is found that the correction can be large, depending upon the geometry and force field of the transition state and the temperature. The magnitude of the correction for anharmonicity of the vibrational excited states depends mainly, at a particular temperature, on the strength of the O—X bond in the transition state. In the case of a large correction, anharmonicity may lead to a nonlinear Arrhenius plot.Because of cancellation effects, the correction for anharmonicity of the excited vibrational states in kinetic isotope effects can be ignored in the lower temperature region. It has also been found that anharmonicity of the vibrational groundstate can explain unexpected large isotope effects.

The RRKM rate constant as given by equation (6.73) in the previous chapter is expressed as a ratio of the sum of states in the transition state and the density of states in the reactant molecule. An accurate calculation of this rate constant requires that all vibrational anharmonicity and vibrational/rotational coupling be included in calculating the sum and density.
