Photo-Induced Multielectron Transfer in Organic Crystals with Mixed-Stack Architecture

  • Conference paper
Multiphoton and Light Driven Multielectron Processes in Organics: New Phenomena, Materials and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASHT,volume 79))

Abstract

We discuss the photo-induced multielectron transfer in organic mixed-stack charge-transfer crystals, close to the neutral-ionic interface. The quasi-one-dimensional architecture of the stacks stimulates intermolecular electron transfer and the energy gain due to Coulomb interaction creates highly cooperative electronic excitations, the charge-transfer strings. At the neutral-ionic interface charge-transfer exciton is no longer elementary excitation and a pair of neutral-ionic domain walls plays such a role. Photo-generated strings proliferates as a motion of lattice-relaxed neutral-ionic domain walls, a “domino effect” caused by electron-phonon coupling. We show that the cooperative multielectron transfer in tetrathiafulvalene-chloranil (TTF-CA) crystal can be photo-induced as bidirectional transition between neutral and ionic phases. Apart from many application-oriented aspects, the discussed phenomena, photo-induced cooperative multielectron transfer, may serve as a model for he electron-transfer self-organization, the frontier problem in natural sciences.
