The [PW12O40]3−[M+(H2O)16]3 is a “hydrogen bonded” ion-pair complex for M = Li, Na and K, but is a “contact” ion-pair complex for M = Rb and Cs, intermolecular charge transfer from the solvated counter cations M+(H2O)16 to the anion [PW12O40]3−.

AbstractThe investigation of cold interactions between ions and neutrals has recently emerged as a new scientific frontier at the interface of physics and chemistry. Here, we report a study of charge-transfer (CT) collisions of Rb atoms with N$${}_{2}^{+}$$2+ and O$${}_{2}^{+}$$2+ ions in the mK regime using a dynamic ion-neutral hybrid trapping experiment. We observe markedly different CT kinetics and dynamics for the different systems and reaction channels studied. While the kinetics in some channels are consistent with classical capture theory, others show distinct non-universal dynamics. The experimental results are interpreted with the help of classical-capture, quasiclassical-trajectory and quantum-scattering calculations using ab-initio potentials for the highly excited molecular states involved. The theoretical analysis reveals an intricate interplay between short- and long-range effects in the different reaction channels which ultimately determines the CT dynamics and rates. Our results illustrate salient mechanisms that determine the efficiency of cold molecular CT reactions.

Dipole moment of a biologically important model compound: Charge transfer complex 1-ethyl-4-methoxy carbonyl pyridinium iodide was determined experimentally. A three component method was employed for this purpose, which is especially useful for determining the dipole moment of a salt insoluble in nonpolar solvents. The experimental dipole moment of this compound, hitherto unmeasured, was found to be (37.7 ± 1.0) . 10-30 C m against the theoretical (contact) ion pair value of 46.4 . 10-30 C m.

AbstractColloidal CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) have shown promise in applications ranging from LED displays to medical imaging. Their unique photophysics depend sensitively on the presence or absence of surface defects. Using simulations, we show that CdSe NCs are inherently defective; even for stoichiometric NCs with perfect ligand passivation and no vacancies or defects, we still observe that the low energy spectrum is dominated by dark, surface-associated excitations, which are more numerous in larger NCs. Surface structure analysis shows that the majority of these states involve holes that are localized on two-coordinate Se atoms. As chalcogenide atoms are not passivated by any Lewis base ligand, varying the ligand should not dramatically change the number of dark states, which we confirm by simulating three passivation schemes. Our results have significant implications for understanding CdSe NC photophysics, and suggest that photochemistry and short-range photoinduced charge transfer should be much more facile than previously anticipated.
