CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON-TRANSFER IN JET-FORMED ACCEPTOR DONOR COMPLEXES - 2 - PHOTOINDUCED ELECTRON-TRANSFER - RATES AND MECHANISMS

The electron transfer (ET) rates induced by the electronic excitation of different isomers of anthracene complexes with aniline derivatives are deduced from their fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectr a. The shapes of potential energy surfaces of locally excited and ioni c surfaces are calculated with a special interest for the crossing are as of both surfaces. The dependence of the ET rates on the initial con figuration is discussed and the assignments of calculated configuratio ns to isomeric species (E and R isomers) are proposed.
