title: Stereodifferentiation in the formation and decay of the encounter complex in bimolecular electron transfer with photoactivated acceptors.
abstract: Experimental evidence has been obtained for the involvement of encounter complexes between both enantiomers of a pi,pi* triplet excited ketone and a chiral phenol or indole. Determination of the pre-equilibrium constants (K(EC)) and the intrinsic decay rate constants (kd) indicates a significant stereodifferentiation in both steps of the quenching process.
