All samples were prepped and studied in an argon flushed glove box in degassed, dry CHCl3. Further details of electrodes and apparatus can be found in ESI S1.
(com)E0–0 calculated from the computationally obtained HOMO–LUMO gap.
E 0–0 was calculated from the crossover of normalised absorption and emission spectra.
E(PS*/PS−) = Ered + E0–0.
E(PS*/PS+) = Eox − E0–0.
