Fast intramolecular charge transfer with a planar rigidized electron donor/acceptor molecule.

The planar rigidized molecule fluorazene ( FPP) undergoes fast reversible intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the excited state, with a reaction time of 12 ps in the polar solvent ethyl cyanide at -45 degrees C. The ICT state of FPP has a dipole moment mu(e)(ICT) of 13 D, much larger than that of the locally excited state LE (1 D). The ICT behavior of FPP is similar to that of its flexible counterpart N-phenylpyrrole (PP), for which mu(e)(ICT) = 12 D. These results show that intramolecular charge transfer to a planar ICT state can occur efficiently. In designing ICT systems capable of rapid switching, it is therefore important to realize that large amplitude motions such as those necessary for the formation of a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state are not required.[1]
