The theoretical expression for the plotof a charge transfer (CT) band intensity vs frequency is known to parallel that for the plot of electron-transfer rate constant kET vs-AG. We use this parallelism to explore a recent model in the literature on the possible role, if any, of partial dielectric saturation of the solvent on the “inverted region” of electron-transfer reactions. A simple approximateexpression is obtained for the full width at half-maximum for the kET and spectral plots and is tested using recent numerical results for calculated kET vs-AGcurves. Studies of experimental widths of CT bands are used, thereby, to test ideas on the possible presence and effects of partial dielectricsaturation and on the observation of the inverted region. Further uses of charge-transfer spectra, when both the absorption and fluorescence data are available, are alsodescribed, including the determination of the “0-» 0 transition energy” AEq-^ for systems displaying little or no vibrational structure.
