^*Maxima and FWHM of the Q_y bands were obtained from fitting the Q_y bands in the PCP complexes reconstituted with Chl mixtures to a single Lorentzian profile.

^†Values in dichloromethane, from Kobayashi et al. (46).

^‡Transition dipole moments of the Q_y bands obtained from Eq. 4.

^§Mean value taken from the range obtained from analysis of Kleima et al. (25).

^¶Interaction term calculated from Eq. 3.

^‖Overlap integral calculated from Eq. 2.

^**Calculated energy transfer time, the experimental values are given in parentheses.
