Charge transfer coupling

Excited-State Charge Transfer Coupled Proton Transfer Reaction. 250... 

To ascertain if an optical transition arises from a charge-transfer process (i) prepare two solutions, each containing one half of the charge-transfer couple (ii) mix the two solutions. Charge transfer is responsible if a new optical band (and hence a new colour) forms. 

Haemoglobin is an essential component of the blood. The central, active part of the molecule comprises a haem ring (as above) at the centre of which lies an iron ion. We call it a charge transfer couple, since it requires two constituents, both the iron and the haem. 

Two different variants of the electrocatalytic process are analyzed here. The first one corresponds to first-order conditions and in this case one-electron and two-electron charge transfers coupled to the chemical reaction are discussed under SWV and Voltcoulometry conditions [19, 83, 95-97], After that, a second-order catalytic scheme is presented in which the mass transport of the substrate of the chemical reaction is considered [98, 99]. 

There are some optical SO, sensors which utilize a change of photo transmittance caused by the interaction of SOj with photoactive material[54] and a quenching of fluorescence from fluorescent materials like p3nrene-perylene charge transfer couple due to SO adsorption[55]. These sensors, however, have rather low sensitivity to SO, and are considered not to be suitable for environmental monitoring. 

Charge transfer coupled systems in which the partial currents influence each other. One component inhibits the second one, e.g., Zn inhibits Ni (Figure 8.2). Or one component catalyzes the deposition of the second component, e.g., Ni catalyzes Mo deposition (Section 8.7.3).
