Abstract

Spatially fixed bichromophoric systems with nonidentical chromophores have been extensively employed for studies of electron transfer and excitation transfer. Excitation hopping behavior between two naphthy1 moieties on 7,14-dihydro-7,14-ethanodibenz[a,h] anthracene(DEA)has been explored by the time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The experimentally obtained value of the hopping rate in DEA agrees at least qualitatively with that calculated on the basis of the Dexter's theory, but disagrees with that calculated on the basis of the Forster's theory, indicates that for a pair of donor and acceptor with inter-chromophore separation as short as 4.5 $\AA$, excitation transfer via electron exchange is a predominant process.
