A time-resolved ENDOR spectrum of the triplet state of the primary donor of photosystem II in isolated reaction centers has been obtained at cryogenic temperatures. Selective excitation of donor molecules, which have their z triplet axes parallel to the magnetic field, has permitted the measurement

β¦ Synopsis
A time-resolved ENDOR (TRENDOR ) apparatus was constructed and applied to observe hyperfine couplings in the photoexcited triplet (Tr ) state. The TRENDOR spectra of the Tt states were observed both in mixed crystals and glass. The hypertine coupling constants were obtained at 4-100 K for quinoxaline in single crystals of durene and pdibromobenzene and for tetraphenylporphine (HaTPP) in toluene glass. The time profile of the ENDOR signal was analyzed with population kinetics using a four-level system.
