Front Cover: Excited Charge Transfer Promoted Electron Transfer in all Perylenediimide Derived, Wide-Band Capturing Conjugates: A Mimicry of the Early Events of Natural Photosynthesis (ChemPlusChem 11/2024)

Abstract

The front cover shows photoinduced electron and energy transfer pathways in all perylene diimide-derived, wide-band capturing donor-acceptor conjugates as a mimicry of the early events of natural photosynthesis. Selective excitation of the charge transfer band in these conjugates leads to an initial singlet charge transfer excited state that undergoes subsequent electron transfer involving linked perylene diimide, resulting in efficient charge separation.
