Back electron transfer rates determine the photoreactivity of donor–acceptor stilbene complexes in a macrocyclic host
Abstract
We investigated the photochemistry of ternary complexes of a cucurbit[8]uril host and donor–acceptor stilbene guests. We found that slow back electron transfer rates allow [2 + 2] photocycloadditions to proceed after photoinitiated charge transfer.
