Electron transfer in cyanine borate ion pairs

The ions chosen for our electron transfer studies are cyanine dye acceptors and tetraarylborate donors (see below for representative examples). The two ions are dissolved in a nonpolar solvent to assure a contact ion pair structure. The cyanine is then irradiated, and this induces the electron transfer process. The electron transfer can be monitored both with laser spectroscopy and by fluorescence. In order to study this system, it was necessary to learn more about both the dyes and the borates.(DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI)
