✦ Synopsis

The triplet-state EPR spectra of photosynthetic bacteria reported in the hterature exhibit a unique spin polarization pattern, previously attributed to intermolecular processes such as electron transfer. We show here that another, purely intramolecular, model can also account for the observed spin polarization. New experimental results, obtained for a porphyrin triplet state, are used to illustrate the proposed interpretation.
