The effect of a locally excited state on charge transfer symmetry breaking (SBCT) in excited quadrupolar molecules in solutions has been studied. The interaction of a locally excited state and two zwitterionic states is found to either increase or decrease the degree of SBCT depending on the molecular parameters. A strategy on how to adjust the molecular parameters to control the extent of SBCT is presented. The influence of level degeneracy on SBCT is identified and discussed in detail. The level degeneracy is shown to lead to the existence of a hidden dipole moment in excited quadrupolar molecules. Its manifestations in SBCT are analyzed. The main conclusions are consistent with the available experimental data.

A simplified theoretical description of multiple-quantum excitation and mixing for nuclear magnetic resonance of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei is presented. The approach recasts the multiple-quantum nutation behavior in terms of reduced excitation and mixing curves through a scaling of the first-order offset frequency by the quadrupolar coupling constant. The two-dimensional correlation of the static first-order anisotropic line shape to the second-order anisotropic magic-angle-spinning (MAS) line shape is utilized to transform the three-dimensional integral over the three Euler angles into a single integral over the dimensionless first-order offset parameter.

We report the formation of polariton condensates from strongly coupled molecules to bound states in the continuum with quadrupolar character in a metasurface of silicon nanoparticles. Our experiments demonstrate a strong dependence of the condensation threshold on the excitation spot size. The condensation threshold decreases as the excitation spot size increases, achieving thresholds below 3 μm cm for spot sizes of around 1 mm and condensate lifetimes exceeding 20 ps.

In excited centrosymmetric donor-acceptor triads of type A-D-A or D-A-D, symmetry breaking charge transfer (SBCT) in polar media has been explored for a few decades. SBCT is accompanied by significant reorganization of the electronic structure of the molecule, which leads to a change in the fluorescence transition dipole moment (TDM). Previously, experiments revealed a 20%-30% reduction in TDM, which occurs on the timescale of SBCT.

Whereas the photoinduced charge-transfer properties of electron donor-acceptor dyads are now well understood, those of symmetric conjugated architectures containing several identical donor-acceptor branches have started to be scrutinised much more recently. Here, we report on our investigation of the charge-transfer dynamics of a series of formally centrosymmetric triads consisting of a quadrupolar dihydropyrrolopyrrole core substituted with two identical diphenylethynyl lateral branches. Using a combination of time-resolved electronic and vibrational spectroscopies, we show that these molecules exhibit rich excited-state dynamics, which includes three different types of symmetry-breaking charge-transfer processes depending on the nature of the end substituents on the core and branches as well as on the solvent: (i) excited-state symmetry breaking within the core; (ii) charge transfer from the core to one of the two branches; (iii) charge transfer between the two branches.

Through-space heteronuclear correlation experiments under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions can provide unique insights into inter-atomic proximities. In particular, it has been shown that experiments based on two consecutive coherence transfers, H → I → H, like D-HMQC (dipolar-mediated heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation), are usually more sensitive for the indirect detection via protons of spin-3/2 quadrupolar nuclei with low gyromagnetic ratio. Nevertheless, the resolution is often decreased by the second-order quadrupolar broadening along the indirect dimension.
