Abstract
). Steady-state and transient spectroscopic techniques, as well as solvatochromism techniques, were employed to establish the tunable ICT. Additionally, time-dependant density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were used to complement the experimental results. The systematic study of antimony(V) porphyrins, especially the tunable push-pull nature could play an important role in instigating high yield charge-separated states in multi-modular donor-acceptor systems for solar energy conversion and molecular electronic and photonic applications.
