I am working one molecular system of form donor-acceptor, but I have problem for calculate the charge transfer state, I do not know how calculate this part.
The charge transfer state referes to transter the electron density , donor -aceptor that correspond with HOMO & LUMO values which estimates by employing the density functional theory
The charges transferred between the frontier orbitals of the donor and acceptor can be calculated by the equation: (Xdonor - Xacceptor)/2(Ydonor - Yaceptor). where X and Y are the absolute electronegativity and the absolute hardness respectively. The values of X and Y are computed by
X = 0.5 (I + A), Y = 0.5(I - A), where I = -E(HOMO) and A = -E(LUMO).
I am interested in a recommended solution using the delta_N equation. How do we determine the electronegativity and global hardness of the donor and acceptor in a single molecule?
Is the delta_N equation relevant for use in a single molecule? because the cases of the two journals are assumed to be two molecules not a single molecule.
If it is relevant it is used for single-molecule cases; is there any journal that has ever used as a reference.
