pH Dependence of the energy transfer mechanism in a phenanthridine-appended ytterbium complex

Intramolecular energy transfer from a non-protonated phenanthridine chromophore to ytterbium occurs rapidly despite negligible overlap of the triplet state of phenanthridine with the absorption band of the metal centre. This can be explained by a sequential electron transfer and back electron transf...
