Abstract
The donor-acceptor molecular dimer is used for modeling the neutral-io nic transition. Charge transfer interaction and electron coupling to i ntramolecular vibrations are taken into account explicitly. A way of c alculating the adiabatic potential as a function of charge transfer be tween donor and acceptor molecules is proposed. The relative significa nce of transfer integral and small-polaron binding energies of donor a nd acceptor molecules is discussed with respect to the feasibility of a nano-scale neutral-ionic transition.
