Characteristic features of charge transfer in the interaction between sensitizer molecules and AgCl(I) molecules

We have used flash luminescence stimulation and photoinduced emission methods to study deep impurity states of AgCl(I) microcrystals with adsorbed organic cationic and anionic dye molecules. We have observed that when these molecules interact with the crystal, charge transfer occurs simultaneously from different orbitals and the transfer occurs differently from each orbital: some orbitals of the molecule pick up a negative charge, others at the same time give up a negative charge. We hypothesize that the type of transfer is determined by the overall charge.
