Identification of a new electron-transfer relaxation pathway in photoexcited pyrrole dimers

Photoinduced electron transfer through, and between, pyrrole moieties is an important process both in the natural world and emerging technologies. Here, the authors use both experiment and theoretical calculation to investigate a previously undiscovered relaxation pathway arising in pyrrole dimers.
