Charge transfer basic mechanism

The proposed scenario is mainly based on the molecular approach, which considers conjugated polymer films as an ensemble of short (molecular) segments. The main point in the model is that the nature of the electronic state is molecular, i.e. described by localized wavefunctions and discrete energy levels. In spite of the success of this model, in which disorder plays a fundamental role, the description of the basic intrachain properties remains unsatisfactory. The nature of the lowest excited state in m-LPPP is still elusive. Extrinsic dissociation mechanisms (such as charge transfer at accepting impurities) are not clearly distinguished from intrinsic ones, and the question of intrachain versus interchain charge separation is not yet answered. 

Classification exclusively in terms of a few basic mechanisms is the ideal approach, but in a comprehensive review of this kind, one is presented with all reactions, and not merely the well-documented (and well-behaved) ones which are readily denoted as inner- or outer-sphere electron transfer, hydrogen atom transfer from coordinated solvent, ligand transfer, concerted electron transfer, etc. Such an approach has been made on a more limited scale. Turney has considered reactions in terms of the charges and complexing of oxidant and reductant but this approach leaves a large number to be coped with under further categories. 

Another important mechanism, which is responsible for the formation of the colored products in the reaction between nitroaromatic compounds and some basic reagents such as aromatic amines, is the well-known charge transfer mechanism [16-19]. The aromatic amine acts as a 7l donor whereas the nitroaromatic compound serves as a 7l acceptor. 

Kinetic Scheme. Generally, metal ions in a solution for electroless metal deposition have to be complexed with a ligand. Complexing is necessary to prevent formation of metal hydroxide, such as Cu(OH)2, in electroless copper deposition. One of the fundamental problems in electrochemical deposition of metals from complexed ions is the presence of electroactive (charged) species. The electroactive species may be complexed or noncomplexed metal ion. In the first case, the kinetic scheme for the process of metal deposition is one of simple charge transfer. In the second case the kinetic scheme is that of charge transfer preceded by dissociation of the complex. The mechanism of the second case involves a sequence of at least two basic elementary steps ... 

The book is arranged in two parts Part I deals with basic relationships and phenomena, including particle size and properties, collision mechanics of solids, momentum transfer and charge transfer, heat and mass transfer, basic equations, and intrinsic phenomena in gas-solid flows. Part II discusses the characteristics of selected gas-solid flow systems such as gas-solid separators, hopper and standpipe flows, dense-phase fluidized beds, circulating fluidized beds, pneumatic conveying systems, and heat and mass transfer in fluidization systems.
