Asymmetric charge transfer (CT) spectra from combinations of carbazole derivatives and chloranil are shown to consist of two bands originating from the highest (HOMO) and second highest (HOMO 2) energy occupied molecular orbitals of carbazole. Symmetry arguments are used to indicate tha t of two possible (parallel plane) alignments of donor and acceptor, t h a t which is totally symmetric gives...

•Facile fabrication of antistatic coatings on surfaces with arbitrary shapes•Chemically heterogeneous but electrostatically homogeneous surfaces•Suppression charge generation during contact electrification Electrostatic charges caused by are ubiquitous in nature, and their accumulation could cause many undesirable consequences. Despite notable progress, existing approaches heavily dependent eit...
