Energy Transfer Theory

In the experimental and theoretical study of energy transfer processes which involve some of the above mechanisms, one should distingiush processes in atoms and small molecules and in large polyatomic molecules. For small molecules a frill theoretical quantum treatment is possible and even computer program packages are available [, and ], with full state to state characterization. A good example are rotational energy transfer theory and experiments on Fie + CO [M] ...

The success of the energy transfer theory in correlating data for a number of systems with sensitizers of widely varying structure, particularly aromatic hydrocarbons for which bond formation between donor and acceptor does not appear to be a reasonable process, led to its acceptance as the general mechanism for photosensitized olefin isomerization. However, there are special cases in which another mechanism of sensitization is operative.
