During the past year, we have made substantial progress in both theoretical and experimental aspects of the program. The program involves the investigation of excitation transport and electron transfer in complex molecular systems. In the area of electron transfer, we have been studying the influences of solvent relaxation and molecular diffusion in liquids on photoinduced forward and back electron transfer. Studies of excitation transport have focused on clustered chromophore systems including theory and experiments on intercluster transport in systems such as micelles and polymers and on dispersive excitation transport in liquids. 11 refs.
