β¦ Synopsis
The solvent reorganisation energies associated with charge transfer spectroscopic transitions in molecules of ellipsoidal shape are calculated by a novel adaptation of the Kirkwood-Westheimer equations, and compared with experimental data for (i) mixed-valence ruthenium(II)-ruthenium(III) complexes, and (ii) outer-sphere ruthenium(W-halide complexes.

A model is proposed for interpreting the effects of solvent and pressure on charge transfer absorption bands. The model is based on considering the complex as a super molecule in a homogeneous medium with a dielectric wm&mt D. Application to some iodine complexes is discussed.
