Work which has been conducted under Department of Energy sponsorship over the past ten years at Boston University is described. A general theme for projects which are summarized involves photochemically induced electron transfer reactions for organic compounds. Early studies in the series were directed to the development of new mechanisms for driving isomerization processes which store light energy as latent heat. Other investigations were devoted to an understanding of the dynamics of charge separation for photoexcited (charge-transfer) complexes or ion-pairs. Recent studies focused on the development of charge relays such as dithioethers and viologen or pyridinium ions, the electron transfer photochemistry of high potential quinones, and the photophysical properties of organic dyes bound to water-soluble polymers. 9 figs.
