Abstract
The time dependence of intermolecular electron transfer kinetics is st udied by two experimental techniques: transient absorption measurement s and degenerate four-wave mixing after excitation of the donor molecu les by picosecond UV pulses. In the system perylene/phthalic anhydride the electron transfer rate depends strongly on the concentration of t he acceptor molecule phthalic anhydride. The value agrees with theoret ical calculations based on a diffusion-controlled process.
