β¦ Synopsis
The decay rates of the triplet sublevels of monomeric BChl a and b have been reexamined with pulsed microwave excitation. Our values of k, and ky are significantly higher than published values. The new results are discussed in relation to the eaciton model of the special pair makmg up the primary electron donor in photosynthetic purple bacteria_
