charge transfer

initialism: CT
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08782
Transfer of charge carriers between two sites of the same molecular entity (intramolecular CT) or between two molecular entities occurring in close proximity (intermolecular CT).
Notes:
  1. Electrons are implicitly considered as the charge carriers subject to a transfer. If other charge carriers (protons, quasiparticles) are considered, they should be explicitly mentioned.
  2. The molecular entity or the entity region from which electron(s) is(are) released is an electron donor while the molecular entity or the entity region accepting electron(s) is an electron acceptor.
