Orbital specific charge tranfer distances, solvent reorganization energies, and electronic coupling energies: electronic Stark effect studies of parallel and orthogonal intervalence transfer in (NC)50sII-CN-RuII(NH3)5-

The spin-orbit induced splitting of the visible-region intervalence transition was observed to study the orbital specificity of the charge transfer process. Raman and electronic effect spectroscopies were used investigate the resonance of the component transitions. Measured orbital-specific electron-transfer distances, coupling energies and reorganization energy were shown to be dependent on orbital identity.
