Abstract
It is well known that chloranil in the lowest excited triplet state forms complexes with electron donating alkylbenzenes. This T1 complex (TC) attracts much interest as a prototypical charge transfer complex. It has been made clear by now that complete charge transfer takes place in the TCs with strong electron donors while only partial charge transfer occurs in those with weak donors. However, the molecular structure of the component molecule in these complexes is not well known. Time-resolved vibrational spectra afford detailed information about the molecular structure of short-lived excited species and are expected to shed some new light on the character of the TCs from the view point of molecular structure.
