Abstract
Supramolecular triad assemblies consisting of a central trisbipyridineruthenium(II) chromophore (C2+), with one or more appended phenothiazine electron donors (D) and a diquat-type electron acceptor (A2+) have been shown to form long-lived photoinduced charge separated states (CSS) with unusually high quantum efficiency. Up to now, there has been no explanation for why such large efficiencies (often close to unity) are achieved from these systems when other, seemingly similar, systems are often much less efficient. In the present study, using a bimolecular system consisting of chromophore-acceptor ...
