The ultrafast charge-transfer-to-solvent dynamics of iodide in tetrahydrofuran. 1. Exploring the roles of solvent and solute electronic structure in condensed-phase charge-transfer reactions.
Although they represent the simplest possible charge-transfer reactions, the charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) dynamics of atomic anions exhibit considerable complexity. For example, the CTTS dynamics of iodide in water are very different from those of sodide (Na-) in tetrahydrofuran (THF), leading to the question of the relative importance of the solvent and solute electronic structures in con...
متن کاملThe roles of the solute and solvent cavities in charge-transfer-to-solvent dynamics: ultrafast studies of potasside and sodide in diethyl ether.
Although electron transfer reactions are among the most fundamental in chemistry, it is still not clear how to isolate the roles of the solute and solvent in moving charge between reactants in solution. In this paper, we address this question by comparing the ultrafast charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) dynamics of potasside (K(-)) in diethyl ether (DEE) to those of sodide (Na(-)) in both DEE an...
متن کاملWatching Na atoms solvate into (Na+,e-) contact pairs: untangling the ultrafast charge-transfer-to-solvent dynamics of Na- in tetrahydrofuran (THF).
With the large dye molecules employed in typical studies of solvation dynamics, it is often difficult to separate the intramolecular relaxation of the dye from the relaxation associated with dynamic solvation. One way to avoid this difficulty is to study solvation dynamics using an atom as the solvation probe; because atoms have only electronic degrees of freedom, all of the observed spectrosco...
متن کاملPreferential Solvation of Fenofibrate in (Ethanol or Acetone) + Water Mixtures at 298.15 K
The aim of this communication was to expand the results of numerical analyses performed by Sun et al. on their experimental solubility of fenofibrate in aqueous mixtures of ethanol and acetone at 298.15 K, in terms of the evaluation of the preferential solvation of this compound by the organic solvents and water in the saturated mixtures based on the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals (IKBI). ...
متن کاملFirst principles multielectron mixed quantum/classical simulations in the condensed phase. II. The charge-transfer-to-solvent states of sodium anions in liquid tetrahydrofuran.
Gas-phase atomic anions lack bound electronic excited states, yet in solution many of these anions exhibit intense absorption bands due to the presence of excited states, referred to as charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) states that are bound only by the presence of the solvent. CTTS spectra thus serve as delicate probes of solute-solvent interactions, but the fact that they are created by the i...
