Photoinduced charge separation in a donor–acceptor functionalized 2,3-diphenylbutadiene: charge transport over a doubly bifurcated π-spacer

Abstract

By studying photoinduced charge transfer processes in 2-(4-cyanophenyl)-3-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,3-butadiene it is shown that insertion of branching points in a π-conjugated pathway has a relatively small effect on the donor–acceptor interaction.
