Transitions, Electronic

The rJ of the free acid decreases linearly with a small positive slope as the Z values rise. In contrast, the rJ of the uncomplexed anion, the species participating In complexatlon, drops sharply between Z values of 80 and 83, varying little above and below these values. Thus, the conformation of the anion tends toward one of two metastable states depending upon solvent Z value. 

The role of the solvent in determining equilibrium solution conformation can best be understood in terms of functional group stabilization. In polar protic media the equilibrium conformation of the uncomplexed anionic ionophore is determined by the solvation of the carboxylate anion and the polar llgandlng groups.

CD was utilized to obtain the solvent dependency of the conformation of the cation-lonophore complex as well as Kp s. Saturation Isotherms were plotted from linear computer fits of 1/[cation] versus 1/ArJ the slopes yielded Kjj s while extrapolation of Rq to infinite cation concentration provided the rJ s of the cation-saturated lonophore. It Is Important to note that the cation Itself is a significant vlnclnal moiety, which by virtue of Its charge, polarizability and location with respect to the chromophore of concern, can modify the rotational strength of the chromophore.

As is the case for vibrational transitions, electronic transitions are mostly of the electric dipole type for which the selection rules are as follows. 

Experimentally, different structure- and surface-sensitive techniques such as in situ scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD), transition electron microscopy (TEM), and in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy have been... 

The ionic portion of the interatomic potential is terminated at both smaller and larger R by covalent-ionic transitions (electron hopping ), which are described in Section 2.5. 

The simplest electron transfer reactions are outer sphere. The Franck-Condon principle states that during an electronic transition, electronic motion is so rapid that the metal nuclei, the metal ligands, and solvent molecules do not have time to move. In a self-exchange example,...

The switching efficiency of lumophore-spacer-receptor systems can be improved by using multiple receptor modules. The PET rate is increased in the device when free of guest ions since more than one site can provide the transiting electron. The simplest cases, such as 4, are those where the receptor units are well separated to prevent interdependent ion binding with an interposed lumophore to minimize the lumophore-receptor spacing for maximum PET rates. Besides this statistical effect, receptors may also cooperatively participate in PET. This may be the case in 5 and 6. ... 

It is well known that ferromagnetism favors reentrant behaviour (see subsection 1.3). The formation of such secondary phases is supported by nonstoichiometry. Therefore the chemical characterization of the sample is of prime importance. However, due to the presence of the two light elements B and C the various classical characterization techniques as chemical analysis, intensity analysis of x-ray or neutron diffraction, transition electron...

Metal nanoparticles have been intensively studied due to their potential for both fundamental and applied research. They give a possibility to examine the material properties in transient conditions between the bulk material and separated atoms. Some phenomena, such as surface plasmon resonance transitions, electron-electron or electron-phonon scattering have special character in metal nanoparticles. 

Vibrational transitions usually involve simultaneous rotational transitions. Electronic transitions usually involve simultaneous vibrational and rotational transitions. 

Spontaneous transitions are not the only possible transitions. Electronic transitions may be also induced by, for example, an external radiation field. According to the detailed equilibrium principle, the rate of transitions from all states of the lower level ct J into all states of the upper level aJ, caused by the absorption of photons from the radiation field, must be equal to the rates of spontaneous and induced transitions from the level a J into a J, i.e.
