Intervalence Transfer in Dinuclear and Oligonuclear Polymetallic Assemblies

混合价化合物（如颜料普鲁士蓝）已经知道了两个多世纪，并具有重要的导电性，磁性和光谱性质。不同价元素之间的电子转移（价间电荷转移，IVCT）在光谱的红色或近红外区域产生吸光度，提供电子迁移的基本信息。通过目标二核和高核多金属物种的设计，该项目将研究IVCT现象，以了解电子运动，允许合理开发适用材料，如催化剂，光活化器件和非线性光学材料。

Mixed-valence compounds (such as the pigment Prussian Blue) have been known for over two centuries, and possess important conductivity, magnetic and spectral properties. Electron transfer between the elements of different valency (intervalence charge transfer, IVCT) gives rise to absorbances in the red or near-infrared region of the spectrum which provide fundamental information on the electron migration. By design of target di- and higher nuclearity polymetallic species, the project will study IVCT phenomena to understand electron movement, allowing rational development of applicable materials such as catalysts, light-activated devices and non-linear optical materials.
