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
Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) is studied in a series of novel molecules containing a dimethoxynaphthalene (DMN) donor and either a pyridine (P) or N-methylpyridinium (P-Me + ) acceptor covalently linked via a rigid norbornalogous bridge (n sigma bonds in length). ET rates of the order of l0 ~° s -~ were measured for the DMN-n-P-Me + series (n=4, 6), while no appreciable ET was observed for the DMN-n-P compound. Electronic and nuclear factors are discussed and the results rationalized in terms of Marcus-Hush and non-adiabatic ET theories.

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
The investigated compounds were substituted naphtoquinones containing aniline moiety separated from the quinoid system by a methylene bridge. The nature of substituents on both donor and acceptor parts influenced the degree of formation of an internal charge transfer complex. Properties of the inter
