ChemInform Abstract: Charge Transfer Degree of BO Complexes

The accurate degree of charge transfer (CT) of BO complexes was obtained by Raman spectroscopy. A rich variety of states with partial CT in a wide range were available for BO materials, either due to stoichiometry or incomplete CT. Above certain acceptor strength, in the complex with BO there is a tendency for the acceptor to be ionized to the fully ionic state of −1 regardless the redox potential in general. The transport properties of BO complexes were discussed in terms of CT degree.
