Resumen:
Photo-initiated charge-transfer processes play a central role in important systems such as human vision and photosynthesis. While researchers have successfully modified these processes to control simple isolated systems, our understanding of photon-to-electronic mechanisms in realistic and complex environments is still in its infancy. In particular, recent experiments have shown that simple descriptions of solvent interactions (either via classical force fields or effective solvent models) are unable to accurately capture the electron dynamics in even relatively simple systems. These ongoing observations open an entirely new field of research in the properties of light-activated processes in complex environments, with the opportunity to deeply understand the real-time electron dynamics between complex interfaces.
