Photo-induced intermolecular charge transfer in porphyrin complexes

Michael Schreiber, Dmitry Kilin, Ulrich Kleinekathoefer

Optical excitation of the sequential supermolecule H_2P-ZnP-Q induces an electron transfer from the free-base porphyrin (H_2P) to the quinone (Q) via the zinc porphyrin (ZnP). This…
