Summary

Charge transfer in CNBA / Deme BF4 is more faster than charge transfer by solvation and unaffected by solvation

The ultrafast CT kinetics could be arising from the pre-solvation state caused by the polar nature of asymmetric CNBA, while for nonpolar symmetric BA, much drastic solvent reorganization is required.
