The photoexcitcd triplet states of chlorophyll a and b are studied by the EPR method at -85 K using modulated ii&t excitation. Both compounds show anomalous EPR line intensities and transient kinetics, indicating e!ectron spin polxi~ation (ESP) in the photoexcitcd triplet state. EPR studies, using h

An EPR stud) of the photoexcIted triple: state of porphyrms, Chl a and the covalently linked dlmer of Zn pyrochlorophylhde a. m a hquld crystal, I: reported The metalloporphyrms mteract to form exclmers The low intramolecular energy transfer rate m the dlmcr (5 106s-') suggests that the unfolded form predommates. * The porphynns were kmdly provided to us by Professor A.D AdIer. The covalently hnked duner of zmc pyrochlorophylhde a was made avadable to us by Professor G.L Gloss and Dr J.R. Norm The chlorophyll a was produced UI this laboratory and the phase V hquld crystal (Merck. E, Darmshdt, W. Germnay) was kmdly provided to US by Professor Z. Luz

## Abstract Time‐resolved EPR spectra are reported for photoexcited porphyrin—quinones with butylene and __cis__‐ or __trans__‐ cyclohexylene spacers between porphyrin donors and crown ether—quinone acceptors. In the nematic phases of liquid crystals, polarized triplet EPR spectra of the porphyrin
