Abstract
Charge-transfer (CT) spectra are commonplace in the class of molecular crystals known as CT crystals [1]. They refer to electronic transitions in which an electron is transferred between two different molecules, one behaving as the donor, the other as the acceptor. Although there is no obvious reason why the donor and acceptor molecules must be different, CT spectra in molecular crystals built from one type of molecule have long escaped detection. Presumably they are masked by the more intense spectra associated with intramolecular transitions (“Frenkel excitons”). Their prominence in CT crystals, one might argue, is simply the result of their being the lowest-energy absorption bands in the crystal, and hence not subject to masking.
