Polarizability charge transfer contributions

Historically, multiple theoretical descriptor-based approaches to H-bond strength ranking were proposed. That includes approaches based on group contribution method [46], electrostatic potentials [47], electrophilic superdelocalizability and self-atom polarizability [48], Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM) descriptors [49-51], the two-center shared electron number a and the product of ionization potential [45, 52], and local quantum mechanical molecular parameters, which quantify electrostatic, polarizability, and charge transfer contributions to H-bonding [53, 54],... 

The electroabsorption signal of the defect absorption in thermally polymerized PTS is very different from that of the photoproducts which is consistent with a red shift of the transitions in an electric field, either by some charge transfer contribution to the if-it transitions or by an extremely large polarizability. Such explanation does not apply to the response of the defect in thermally polymerized samples. The main observations are summarized in this section. 

The theoretical problems associated with calculating nonlinear polarizabilities is closely linked to the field of charge transfer spectroscopy and reactivity as well as the field of multi-photon and excited state spectroscopy. It is likely that theoretical methods from these fields will contribute to a deeper understanding of nonlinear optical phenomena in organic, inorganic, and organometallic compounds. 

In summary CO is a good probe of surface fields and, indirectly, of surface Lewis acidity, as has also been observed for other systems without d electrons. A close examination of other, more subtle effects (dipole-dipole interactions) shows that a small d-n contribution is present which primarily affects the dynamic polarizability (i.e., the dynamic charge transfer from adsorbed CO to the surface centers and vice versa during the stretching motion).
