Abstract: Classification of simple supramolecular structures (for example molecular complexes), which has been introduced and described by Mulliken [1], is based on types of molecular orbitals of the components. In the paper [2], disadvantages of such classification are shown, which motivate us to return to the re-examination properties of molecular complexes. By this reason, there is a need to research the molecular complexes of one electron acceptor with a wide range of electron donor molecules. This paper have continued work (Part I [3]) on the chloranil complexes by studying the spectral properties complexes of N- and O-unsubstituting anilines and phenols. The present work aimed at analyzing linear relation the energies of charge-transfer bands of molecular complexes are related to ionization potentials of the donor components. All complexes conform to linear relations like involving both adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials of donor components. Mulliken [1] has been proposed to apply the vertical ionization potentials of donor components only. The development of photoelectron spectroscopy has led to the measurement of adiabatic and vertical ionization energies for thousands of molecules, which allow theirs to the present analysis of spectral properties molecular complexes.

Abstract: Electrons impinging or escaping from a solid surface undergo surface electronic excitations which are competitive in nature to other electron-solid interaction channels. The detailed information about electron inelastic scattering probability for surface excitations at solid surface is also important in reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy. A self energy formalism based on quantum mechanical treatment of interaction of electrons with a semi-infinite medium, which uses the optical dielectric function is considered to study surface boundary effect for planar surfaces of Cu and Ni for various conditions of electron-solid interactions. The total surface excitation probability of an electron while crossing the surface boundary once is numerically computed by integrating surface term of spatial and angular dependent differential inelastic cross sections over energy loss and distance from the surface. It is found that surface effect is prominent for low energy electrons and large oblique angles with respect to surface normal and confined to the close vicinity of surface boundary.
