Abstract

Photoinduced electron transfer in organic molecules is a topic of fundamental interest in photophysics and for applications to artificial photosynthesis Highly efficient ultrafast electron transfer from photoexcited conjugated polymers to C₆₀ has been reported [1]; the back transfer is heavily hindered, thus providing a stabilization mechanism of the photogenerated charges. The detailed time resolution of this process is needed to shed light on the charge transfer mechanism
