Preferred Label : charge-transfer (CT) transition;
IUPAC acronym : CT;
IUPAC definition : An electronic transition in which a large fraction of an electronic charge is transferred
from one region of a molecular entity, called the electron donor, to another, called
the electron acceptor (intramolecular CT) or from one molecular entity to another
(intermolecular CT). Typical for donor-acceptor complexes or multichromophoric molecular
entities. In some cases the charge-transfer absorption band may be obscured by the
absorption of the partners.;
