✦ Synopsis
Picosecond as well as femtosecond transient absorption measurements have been performed on eight water-soluble heterodimers consisting of combinations of oppositely charged free base and metal porphyrins which have been electrochemically characterized. The ultrafast non-exponential absorption increase, attributed to solvent-controlled, intradimer charge separation, is energy-gap independent. By contrast, the much slower charge recombination is energy-gap dependent.
