Abstract:
Photoexcitation of Ni(II)- and Ag(II)-porphyrins with a 10 ps pulse at 530 nm produces a new transient absorption. The transient species lifetimes were 250 ± 50 ps and 15 ± 8 ps for Ni- and Ag-porphyrins, respectively. It is shown that the triplet state is responsible for this absorption in Ag-porphyrin.
