Abstract
Porphyrins and related compounds are basic moieties which upon photoexcitation produce paramagnetic transients important to many processes in biology, material science and light–energy conversion. This short review demonstrates the application of time-resolved EPR spectroscopy to two processes in which the photoexcited singlet and/or triplet are involved: (1) intramolecular electron transfer in photoexcited donor–acceptor systems embedded in liquid crystals, where the porphyrins are the electron donors attached to different types of acceptors; and (2) intermolecular magnetic interactions between photoexcited porphyrin triplets and free radicals. In both systems the electron spin plays an important part with regards to the route of the magnetic interactions involved.
