Abstract

We have successfully achieved the electron-transfer (ET) state of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion, produced by a single step photoinduced electron transfer, which has a much longer lifetime (e.g., 2 h at 203 K) and higher energy (2.37 eV) than that of the natural system without loss of energy due to multistep electron-transfer processes.
