TL;DR: The dependence of the oxidation potential of ferrocene on the electrolyte concentration for differentsolvents revealed that the abovementioned approximation in the Born correction term indeed introduces a significant error in the estimation of the charge-transfer driving force from redox data collected using relatively nonpolar solvents.

TL;DR: Photoinduced processes, leading to charge-transfer states with extended lifetimes, are of key importance for solar-energy-conversion applications and external heavy-atom effect allowed us to photogenerate long-lived transients of electron donor-acceptor dyads using acridinium as an electron acceptor and principal chromophore.

TL;DR: The quality of adhesion manifested good correlation trends with the surface properties of the pretreated PDMS, and examination of the QA dependence on the treatment duration and on the pressure and the RF power of the plasma revealed a range of oxidative conditions that allowed for permanent adhesion with quantitative yields.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron donor-acceptor dyad (quaterthiophene-anthraquinone) mediates ultrafast intramolecular photoinduced charge separation and consequent charge recombination when in polar or moderately polar solvents.

TL;DR: This work investigated the medium dependence of the molar polarization and of the permanent dipole moments of amides with different state of alkylation, and observed a solvent dependence that increased with the increase in the media polarity.
