Intramolecular electron transfer rates for ion formation in bridged donor/acceptor systems have been determined using fluorescence lifetime measurements. The data show a weak dependence of the rate on the donor/acceptor distance as well as a dependence on the electronic structure of the spacer. Thes

✦ Synopsis
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 attached to the dicyanoethylenegroup is "flatter" in 3(S) compared to l(8 ), and this results in diminished through-bond coupling in 3 (8) compared to l(8). This conclusion is reinforced by the observaGon that the calculated through-bond r[, n and n', K* interaction energies in dienes 7(6) and 9(6) are larger than those in the dlenes 8(6) and 10(6), respectively.

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).

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
