Elucidating the Most Fundamental Aspect of Electron Transfer Mehcanisms by Meansof Ultrafast Laser Photolysis Studies on Distance-Fixed Porphyrin-Quinone Dyads

Abstract

General problems in relation to the investigations on the photosynthetic reaction centermodels including bichromophoric as well as multichromophoric systems are discussed. Moreover, the most fundamental aspects of electron transfer (ET) mechanisms are discussedon the basis of the results obtained by ultrafast laser photolysis studies on distance-fixedporphyrin-quinone dyads. The quite different nature of ET in the inverted region from that inthe normal region is demonstrated.
