✦ Synopsis
Photoexcitation of a molecular assembly consisting of the donor and acceptor moieties dimethoxynaphthalene and dicyanoethylene rigidly separated by an approximately 15 A long, saturated hydrocarbon bridge results in a charge-separated state with a dipole moment of 77 D and a lifetime of 740 ns in benzene. This giant dipole state is discharged by ground-state molecules and by the individual donor and acceptor moieties with close to diffusion-controlled rate constants.
