Photoinduced electron transfer in rigid supramolecular systems. Role of electronic and nuclear factors

Abstract

The distance dependence of the rate and the Gibb's activation free energy (AG#) for photoinduced electron transfer (ET) in a series of molecules containing N, A/-dimethylaniline as donor separated from dimethoxynaphthalene as acceptor by a rigid polynorbornane bridge of 4, 6 and 8 saturated carbon-carbon bonds (4a, 6View full abstract
