Abstract

A study of photo-induced electron-transfer reactions in MeCN with 9,10-dicyanoanthracene as acceptor and 21 electron donors with transient photoconductivity measurements is reported. The free-ion yield and the rate constant of back electron transfer are determined. For exergonic reactions, the Marcus-inverted region is observed. The fit with the theory is best, when a nearly solvent-independent Coulomb term is used in the calculation of the energy balance.
