V. Vehmanen et al., Ultrafast charge transfer in phytochlorin-[60]fullerene dyads: influence of the attachment position, CHEM P LETT, 345(3-4), 2001, pp. 213-218
A femtochemistry study has been performed on two phytochlorin-[60]fullerene
donor-acceptor dyads, in which the fullerene moiety is linked via a pyrrol
idine bridge either to the position 3 or 7 of the phytochlorin ring. Both d
yads form an emissive intramolecular exciplex in less than 1 ps, but only t
he former dyad relaxes to the ground state via a charge transfer (CT) state
