摘要
We investigate the photoinduced intramolecular electron-transfer (IET) behavior of a perylenebisimide dimer in a variety of solvents using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Overlapping photoinduced absorptions and stimulated emission give rise to complicated traces, but they are well fit with a simple kinetic model. IET rates were found to depend heavily on solvent dielectric constant. Good quantitative agreement with rates derived from fluorescence quantum yield and time-resolved fluorescence measurements was found for forward electron transfer and charge recombination rates.
