S. Schneider et al., Photoinduced electron transfer in phenothiazine and pyrene based dyades studied by picosecond time-gated Raman spectroscopy, CHEM P LETT, 348(3-4), 2001, pp. 277-284
Picosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (TR3) spectroscopy was applied to
investigate the photoinduced electron transfer in dyades employing phenothi
azine as electron donor and pyrene as electron acceptor. Because the vibrat
ional spectra of the pyrene excited state and the pyrene radical anion exhi
bit pronounced differences, the occurrence of photoinduced electron transfe
r can be proven beyond doubt for those derivatives, for which estimates yie
