Description:: Intermolecular charge transfer between electron-rich donor and electron-poor acceptor molecules offer great promise in the development of novel, low-cost electronic materials. It is hypothesized that control over the intermolecular interactions and supramolecular self-assembly of these systems could tune electronic properties and discover new functions. To that end, a series of...

Description:: Nonlinear optical (NLO) effects are used universally in modern day telecommunication and form the foundation of emergent photonic technologies. Twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) chromophores, composed of a donor and acceptor fragment connected by a twisted bi-aryl bridge, combine large molecular NLO response with properties such as transparency in the...

Description:: This thesis attempts a combined theoretical/experimental investigation of two fundamental scaling laws in charge transfer reactions: how the rate of those reactions varies as a function of distance between an electron donor and an electron acceptor and how the rate varies as a function of the number of distinct pathways...
