14. Summary  Charge transfer in CNBA / Deme BF 4 is more faster than charge transfer by solvation and unaffected by solvation The ultrafast CT kinetics could be arising from the pre- solvation state caused by the polar nature of asymmetric CNBA, while for nonpolar symmetric BA, much drastic solvent reorganization is required.  LE state CT state LE state CT state CNBABA 0.5 kcal / mol K.
