Transfer of trispolypyridineruthenium(II) chelates of the type [Ru(chel)3]2+, where chel is 2,2’-bipyridine, 2,2’-bipyrimidine or 2,2’-bipyrazine, in their ground states across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface was classified as the reversible transfer of a divalent cation. Thermodynamic and transport parameters characterizing this transfer were obtained from voltammetric measurements. Photoexcitation of these chelates gives rise to the photoinduced charge transfer across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface.

We unequivocally demonstrate that the Franck–Condon excited states of 2′-deoxyguanosine 3′-monophospate 5′-thymidine are significantly delocalised across both nucleobases, and mediate ultrafast exciplex product formation.

Transfer of trisbipyridine transition metal complexes [M(bpy)3]2+ (bpy = bipyridine) across the water-1,2-dichloroethane interface can be classified as a simple transfer of a divalent cation in case that the central atom M = Fe, Ni, Ru or Os, while for M = Co, Cu or Zn the charge transfer is accompanied by considerable chemical changes, such as the ligand dissociation and the solvolysis. Thermodynamic and transport parameters characterizing the transfer of [M(bpy)3]2+ ions from water to 1,2-dichloroethane have been determined from voltammetric measurements.

The nonequilibrium Fermi’s golden rule (NE-FGR) describes the time-dependent rate coefficient for electronic transitions, when the nuclear degrees of freedom start out in a <i>nonequilibrium</i> state. In this letter, the linearized semiclassical (LSC) approximation of the NE-FGR is used to calculate the photoinduced charge transfer rates in the carotenoid-porphyrin-C<sub>60</sub> molecular triad dissolved in explicit tetrahydrofuran. The initial nonequilibrium state corresponds to impulsive photoexcitation from the equilibrated ground-state to the ππ* state, and the porphyrin-to-C<sub>60</sub> and the carotenoid-to-C<sub>60</sub> charge transfer rates are calculated. Our results show that accounting for the nonequilibrium nature of the initial state significantly enhances the transition rate of the porphyrin-to-C<sub>60</sub> CT process. We also derive the instantaneous Marcus theory (IMT) from LSC NE-FGR, which casts the CT rate coefficients in terms of a Marcus-like expression, with explicitly time-dependent reorganization energy and reaction free energy. IMT is found to reproduce the CT rates in the system under consideration remarkably well.

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.
