Mulliken-Hush analysis of a bis(triarylamine) mixed-valence system with a N...N distance of 28.7 angstrom

An organic mixed valence compound with a spacer length of 25 unsaturated bonds separating two amine redox centres was synthesised and the electron transfer behaviour was investigated in the context of a Mulliken - Hush analysis in order to estimate the longest redox centre separation for which an intervalence charge transfer band can be observed.
