Introduction
Electron transfer (ET) processes and charge transfer (CT) states are involved in photosynthesis utilized in opto-electronic devices
Electron donor acceptor (DA) molecules are useful for studying fundamental processes associated with electron transfer reactions
CT states can be a mixture of locally excited (LE) and radical ion pair (RP; D•+-A•-) states
Controlled by solvent polarity
DMJ-An is an example
Methyl groups inhibit rotation and simplify photophysics
Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (FSRS) to probe the extent of charge separation in the CT state.
