Abstract
Photo-induced electron transfer causes the rapid quenching of the excited singlet state of a number of capped porphyrins. The porphyrin donates an electron to an acceptor such as a quinone as shown in the following scheme We have observed a marked decrease in the rate of charge recombination at high -ΔG, in the so called “inverted” region, as predicted by both classical1 and quantum theories2 of electron transfer.
