In chemistry, charge-transfer (CT) complex, or electron donor-acceptor complex, describes a type of supramolecular assembly of two or more molecules or ions. The assembly consists of two molecules that self-attract through electrostatic forces, i.e., one has at least partial negative charge and the partner has partial positive charge, referred ...
Many materials may be characterized as organic superconductors. These include the Bechgaard salts and Fabre salts which are both quasi-one-dimensional, and quasi-two-dimensional materials such as k-BEDT-TTF 2 X charge-transfer complex, λ-BETS 2 X compounds, graphite intercalation compounds and three-dimensional materials such as the alkali ...
In the 1950s, organic molecules were shown to exhibit electrical conductivity. Specifically, the organic compound pyrene was shown to form semiconducting charge-transfer complex salts with halogens. [14] In 1972, researchers found metallic conductivity (conductivity comparable to a metal) in the charge-transfer complex TTF-TCNQ.
In the 1950s, researchers discovered that polycyclic aromatic compounds formed semi-conducting charge-transfer complex salts with halogens. In particular, high conductivity of 0.12 S/cm was reported in perylene–iodine complex in 1954. [3] This finding indicated that organic compounds could carry current.
Interpolymer complexes (IPC) are the products of non-covalent interactions between complementary unlike macromolecules in solutions. [1] There are four types of these complexes: Interpolyelectrolyte complexes (IPEC) or polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) [2] Hydrogen-bonded interpolymer complexes [3] Stereocomplexes [4] Charge-transfer complexes [5]
In eukaryotes, NADH is the most important electron donor. The associated electron transport chain is NADH → Complex I → Q → Complex III → cytochrome c → Complex IV → O 2 where Complexes I, III and IV are proton pumps, while Q and cytochrome c are mobile electron carriers. The electron acceptor for this process is molecular oxygen.
The first generally accepted theory of ET was developed by Rudolph A. Marcus (Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1992) [8] to address outer-sphere electron transfer and was based on a transition-state theory approach. The Marcus theory of electron transfer was then extended to include inner-sphere electron transfer by Noel Hush and Marcus.
