Photoinduced energy and electron transfer in pyrene–porphyrin, porphyrin–benzoquinone binary systems and the pyrene–porphyri–benzoquinone ternary system
Abstract
Intramolecular energy transfer (from singlet excited pyrene to porphyrin) and electron transfer (from singlet excited porphyrin to benzoquinone and then from ground state pyrene to the porphyrin cation radical) are observed in a covalently bonded pyrene–porphyrin–benzoquinone ternary system.
