TLDR
In this paper, the intensity and wavelength of the charge transfer transitions of a large number of molecular complexes in solution are examined in terms of possible theoretical interpretations of the transition transitions, and it was shown that the wavelengths of these transitions show an excellent correlation with the ionization potentials of the electron donor partners of the complexes.
Abstract
The intense so‐called ``intermolecular charge‐transfer spectra'' shown by a large number of molecular complexes in solution are found to exhibit certain regularities in regard to wavelength and intensity. The wavelengths of these transitions show an excellent correlation with the ionization potentials of the electron donor partners of the complexes. The intensities of the charge‐transfer transitions are markedly dependent on the electron acceptor partner of the complex. These results are examined in terms of possible theoretical interpretations of the charge‐transfer transitions.

The Relation between Energy Levels of Substituent Groups and Electron Migration Effects in Some Monosubstituted Benzenes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made determinations of the highest occupied (HB, HS) and the lowest vacant levels (VB, VS) with benzene and some substituent groups using experimental knowledge of their ionization potentials and their near ultraviolet absorption spectra.

Molecular complexes and their spectra. VI. Some problems and new developments

TL;DR: Although the charge transfer theory probably affords a correct general account of major aspects of the structure and spectra of molecular complexes, its application to the detailed structures of particular types of complex presents a variety of problems whose definitive solution will require much new experimental and theoretical research, but should then yield many interesting conclusions as mentioned in this paper.

Hydrogen Bonding Interaction between Adsorbate Molecules and Surface Hydroxyl Groups on Silica

TL;DR: In this paper, a correlation was demonstrated between the frequency shifts of the surface hydroxyl stretching vibration and the ionization potential of the adsorbates, which indicated the importance of charge transfer interaction in hydrogen bonding.

A Spectrophotometric Investigation of the Interaction of Iodine with Aromatic Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the position of the absorption bands of iodine solutions in the visible region moved gradually from violet to brown, the shift being only small in the case of benzene in which the color of iodine is a red-violet.

Classification of Spectra of Cata-Condensed Hydrocarbons

TL;DR: In this paper, the classification of π-orbitals in a cata-condensed aromatic system is like that of the orbitals of a free electron traveling in a one-dimensional loop of constant potential around the perimeter.

Collisional Perturbation of Spin‐Orbital Coupling and the Mechanism of Fluorescence Quenching. A Visual Demonstration of the Perturbation

TL;DR: In this article, a collisional perturbation of spin-orbital coupling in the π-electron orbitals of naphthalene is interpreted in terms of a collision.

The Effect of the Electrostatic Polarization of the Solvent on Electronic Absorption Spectra in Solution

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the red shift of absorption in solution depends directly on f, the oscillator strength, and inversely either on a3 (a is the radius of the spherical solute molecule) or the polarizability α.
