| Abstract: | Results of our femtosecond-picosecond laser photolysis studies on photoinduced electron transfer phenomena in solutions including exciplex dynamics and its solvent dependences, energy gap dependences of photoinduced charge separation and charge recombination of various geminate ion pairs, mechanisms of chemical reactions via exciplexes and ion pairs, dynamics of photoinduced election transfer in hydrogen bonding complexes, dynamics and mechanisms of photoinduced electron transfer in fixed distance donor acceptor dyads and photosynthetic reaction center models, and mechanisms of electron ejection from solute fluorescent state in polar solutions are summarized and discussed. |
