Standard technique in particle theory and in condensed matter theory but maybe not in quantum chemistry.Consider electrons interacting with the centers of potential (ions) located at Ri:
2. Field Theory Technique
electromagnetic interactions (gauge principle)

Further approximations
only nearest neighbors
Then we have
Special case of H→ Su-Schrieffer-Heegger Hamiltonian , constant , longitudinal →

Luminescence quenching
quenching occurs by a hole propagation inside DNA
Note 1. Prokariote ・・・ closed string 2. Eukariote ・・・ open string end: telomere with certain protein
mixed system
Ru-ligand
absorptionluminescence
Rh provides electrons quenching⇒
