It is suggested that in highly polar solvent acetonitrile (ACN), a loosely-structured transient geminate ion-pair complex (GIP) in the excited singlet state (<em>S</em><sub>1</sub>) is formed due to the ET encounter between the present donor TH2N or 2MTHN and TCNQ and this GIP complex rapidly dissociates into stable excited radical ions, as evidenced from steady state spectra. In polar DMF solvents, TCNQ exhibits an electronic absorption band of its anion without the presence of donor molecules. Both steady state and time-resolved data indicate that ET reactions between the present donors and acceptor TCNQ are largely impeded in the less polar solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF). In the highly polar solvent ACN, ET reactions between the donors and acceptor TCNQ have been suggested to be of adiabatic or intermediate between adiabatic and non-adiabatic types, from the observation of radical ion species in the electronic excited state. For some bicyclic donors and TCNQ acceptor systems, large negative Δ<em>G</em>, which is a measure of the gap between locally excited and radical ion-pair states, shows reaction occurs in highly exothermic regions. Further observations of −Δ<em>G</em>>λ, nuclear reorganization energy parameters and the decrement of ET rate (<em>k</em><sub>ET</sub>) with increasing exothermicity (more negative Δ<em>G</em> values) suggest the ET reaction for the bicyclic donor—TCNQ acceptor systems studied in the present investigation might occur in the Marcus inverted region. The possibility of building up efficient photoconducting materials with the present donor acceptor systems is suggested.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":82782,"journal":{"name":"Spectrochimica acta.
