Photoinduced electron transfer rates are reported for a pair of rigid bichromophoric molecules, l(8) and 3( 8), in a variety of solvents. It was found that intramolecular electron transfer in l( ) is up to five times faster than in 3( 8). X-ray crystallography revealed that the cyclopentyl ring atta

✦ Synopsis
The bichromophoric compounds 1 and 2, a pair of isomers containing a naphthalene and an aniline moiety rigidly linked through an alicyclic spacer, exhibit intramolecular charge-transfer (CT) fluorescence which isstrongly affected by solvent polarity. The Coulomb attraction term is somewhat smaller in isomer 1; hence, the CT energy of 1 is intrinsically larger than that of 2.
This situation is reversed in highly polar solvents due to the increased salvation arising from the larger mepn distance of charge separation for 1. Comparison with solvatochromic shifts in the aniline-naphthalene exciplex leads to the conclusion that the average distance between donor and acceptor in polar intermolecular exciplexes is considerably larger than is commonly assumed.

Photoinduced electron-transfer rates are reported for two pairs of rigid bichromophoric molecules 1(6)/2(6) and 1(8)/2( 8). In the first pair electron donor and acceptor are separated by six, in the second pair by eight, carbon-carbon o bonds. While these o bonds provide an all-trans coupling path
Donor-acceptor compounds containing a phenylenediamine electron donor and a naphthalene, a cyanobenzene, or a cyanonaphthalene acceptor were studied. The two chromophores are connected by three different bridging units, consisting of CH 2 groups linked to a semiflexible piperidine or piperazine ring
