Figure 7.
Energetic model of relaxation of the charge-separated state P+(BAHA)− for the four RCs. The initially formed charge-separated state is in red, the intermediate state is in yellow, and the finally resolved charge-separated state is in blue. The circles represent BA (upper left circle in each pair) and HA (lower right circle in each pair), and their areas are proportional to the probability of the localization of the electron on BA or HA. The numerical values for these probabilities are given in Table 1 (columns [P+BA–]rel and [P+HA–]rel). The numbers in black at the arrows are the molecular lifetimes (in ps) obtained from the target analysis (see Figure 5). Note that the free energy level of the state P+(BAHA)0– was arbitrarily set at 0 meV, while the free energy level of the state P+(BAHA)2– (and P+(BAHA)1– for AMW) was not determined.
