Regarding solar cells, with solid state electronics I understand the concept of a "band gap", but I believe with organic chemistry is referred to by different terms and measured in different units , something to do with homo and lumo between the excited states in the absorption & emission spectrum overlaps (I've been thinking of covalently coupling chromophores to conductive polymers) So, my question, _What is the equivalent term in biochemistry and what units does it use?_ I only took a year of chemistry before I switched to computer science so take it easy on me please 😉
Marcus theory applies to photosynthesis: ua-cam.com/video/YFzeMMOvhl0/v-deo.html See also text below this video; the Gunner paper is all about this. ua-cam.com/video/GnPIbH6nM9o/v-deo.html
For a good electron donor acceptor pair it is a new absorption band, red-shifted relative to the separate components. For instance: tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in toluene, anisole and veratrole solvent (solvent is donor here).
Thanks from a peer professor! Great video.

How to understand in ur absorption spectra charge transfer band is there?
