We show that X-ray pulses resonant with selected core transitions can manipulate electron transfer (ET) in molecules with ultrafast and atomic selectivity. We present possible protocols for coherently controlling ET dynamics in donor-bridge-acceptor (DBA) systems by stimulated X-ray resonant Raman processes involving various transitions between the D, B, and A sites. Simulations presented for a Ru(II)-Co(III) model complex demonstrate how the shapes, phases and amplitudes of the X-ray pulses can be optimized to create charge on demand at selected atoms, by opening up otherwise blocked ET pathways.
我们表明,与选定的核心跃迁共振的X射线脉冲可以以超快和原子选择性操纵分子中的电子转移(ET)。我们提出了通过涉及供体(D)、桥(B)和受体(A)位点之间各种跃迁的受激X射线共振拉曼过程来相干控制供体-桥-受体(DBA)系统中ET动力学的可能方案。针对Ru(II)-Co(III)模型配合物进行的模拟表明,如何通过打开原本受阻的ET途径来优化X射线脉冲的形状、相位和振幅,从而在选定原子上按需产生电荷。
