H. Shiratori et al., COORDINATION CONTROL OF INTRAMOLECULAR ELECTRON-TRANSFER IN BORONATE ESTER-BRIDGED DONOR-ACCEPTOR MOLECULES, Chemical communications, (15), 1998, pp. 1539-1540
Acid-base reaction at the bridge in a donor-acceptor molecule can infl
uence intramolecular electron-transfer reactions; this has been demons
trated in boronate ester bridged zinc porphyrin-diimide dyads in which
intramolecular electron transfer reaction has been completely suppres
sed by coordination of F- on the bridge boron.
