Photoinduced electron transfer from pyrene to methylviologen in polystyrene latex dispersions as studied by diffuse reflectance laser flash photolysis
Abstract
Fluorescence and diffuse reflectance flash photolysis studies revealed that photoinduced electron transfer from pyrene to methylviologen was enhanced in polystyrene latex dispersions, and also that the back electron transfer was markedly suppressed in the dispersions, resulting in effective charge separation.
