analysis via Eqs. [134] and [144] to two CT complexes studied <strong>in</strong> Ref. 87<br />

when the traditional band shape analysis 16,17 fails to fit the experimental spectra.<br />

The fitt<strong>in</strong>g procedure employs the simulated anneal<strong>in</strong>g technique <strong>in</strong> the<br />

space of four parameters: l I , lv, nv, and E12.<br />

Polarizable Chromophores<br />

The model of polarizable dipolar chromophores suggests that the 3D<br />

nuclear reaction field of the solvent serves as a driv<strong>in</strong>g force for electronic transitions.<br />

Even <strong>in</strong> the case of an isotropic solute polarizability, two projections of<br />

the reaction field should be <strong>in</strong>cluded: the longitud<strong>in</strong>al (parallel to the difference<br />

solute dipole) component and the transverse (perpendicular to the difference<br />

dipole) component. The d function <strong>in</strong> Eq. [<strong>18</strong>] elim<strong>in</strong>ates <strong>in</strong>tegration over<br />

only one of these two field component. The <strong>in</strong>tegral still can be taken analytically<br />

result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a closed-form solution for the Franck–Condon factor<br />
