A zinc phthalocyanine–benzoperylenetriimide conjugate for solvent dependent ultrafast energy vs. electron transfer†
Abstract
A novel zinc phthalocyanine–benzoperylenetriimide conjugate has been synthesized and its ability to undergo ultrafast energy and electron transfer as a function of solvent polarity has been demonstrated using the femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) technique operating at a femto- to nanosecond time scale.
