Electron Transfer and Absorption Spectra of Complexes
Abstract
Occurrence of light saturation in the reaction of thionine (T) with Fe2+ suggests the existence of T\cdot Fe2+ complexes practically indistinguishable by their absorption spectra from free thionine; photoreduction seems to occur by electron transfer in such complexes, delayed by more than 10-5 second after light absorption. Both phenomena must be of general significance.
