61. The combination of the charge recombination process between the reduced quinone and the adjacent oxidized porphyrin (τ = 3-6 ps) and the ~ 10-ps vibrational/conformational relaxation in the electronic ground state leads to a wavelength dependence of the apparent time constant in the Soret and Q-band regions. Furthermore, the vibrational relaxation process itself will give rise to a wavelength variation of the apparent time constant measured across the broad transient absorption to the red of the ground-state bleachings, as described elsewhere. 21a

66. Selective excitation also does not occur because the Q bands are built on a broad background that appears to be a tail of the Soret band. Such a tail appears to be present in a variety of porphyrin dimers. (See ref 21b and Yan, X.; Holten, D. J. Phys. Chem. 1988, 92, 409–414.) Since the Soret involves strongly coupled transitions of the two monomeric subunits, excitation into a tall of the Soret is likely to yield excitations on either the Zn or H2 subunit after internal conversion from the Soret to the Q, or lowest 1(π, π*), manifold. In keeping with this, shifting the wavelength of the 350-fs excitation pulse to 620 nm (to the red of the Q(0,0) band of the Zn subunit) still results in bleaching in the Q bands of both subunits.

71. Absorption and emission spectra at 77 K have been reported for these compounds13 and show the expected sharpening of the bands and a decreased overlap between the Zn emission and H2 absorption bands in the mixed {formula-omited} and Zn-H2 heterodimers.
