✦ Synopsis


High resolution speclrn of the 1:l CT-crystal anthracene-pyromelljric-ni-id-di3nhydride (A.PLIDA) show nt low tcmperatures sharp structures in absorprion and in emission. We attribute these structures to a zero-phonon transition which is accompanied by vibronic satellites. The spectra yield the coupling strength of the CT-transition to the phonons and to the vibrational modes of both the donor and acceptor molecule. The optical spectra of organic 1: 1 charge-transfer (CT).crystals show several features which are characteristic of the electronic CT-transition. These features are: field of CT-spectroscopy. They enable us to examine CT-transition energies and vibronic frequencies in donor-acceptor crystals with an accuracy of a few wavenumbers. (i) broad and structureless absorption and emission bands with low temperature half widths of several hundred to more than a thousand wavenumbers [l-5] ;

(ii) a Franck-Condon gap between the absorption and emission peak which is of the order of a thousand wavenumbers;
