Abstract
The relaxation of the Q1(π—π*) excited state of the nonprotonated Fc4PH2 and diprotonated Fc4PH4 2+ forms of meso-tetraferrocenylporphyrin was studied by femtosecond laser absorption spectroscopy. Transition from the Q1(π—π*) state to the charge-transfer state was shown to occur within 208±10 fs for Fc4PH2 and 9±3 ps for Fc4PH4 2+. A fast vibrational relaxation with a characteristic time of 120—140 fs was found for both forms. The relaxation time of Fcδ+—Pδ– charge-transfer state for Fc4PH2 was 17±4 ps.
