We use UV resonance Raman spectroscopy to probe the lowest energy allowed electronic transitions of aqueous solutions containing Cl(-) salts. We show that the waters hydrating the Cl(-) are involved in charge transfer transitions that transfer electron density from Cl(-) to the water molecules. These charge transfer transitions cause significant change in the H-O-H bond angle in the excited state, which results in a strong enhancement of the preresonance Raman intensity of the water bending modes. Our work gives the first insight into the lowest allowed electronic transition of hydrated Cl(-).
我们使用紫外共振拉曼光谱来探测含有 Cl(-)盐的水溶液中最低能量允许的电子跃迁。我们表明,水合 Cl(-)的水分子参与了电荷转移跃迁,将电子密度从 Cl(-)转移到水分子上。这些电荷转移跃迁导致激发态中 H-O-H 键角发生显著变化,从而导致水弯曲模式的预共振拉曼强度强烈增强。我们的工作首次深入了解了水合 Cl(-)的最低允许电子跃迁。
