22. It has been reported that halide ions form a ground state complex with ZnTPPS4- and quench the S2 excited state by electron transfer; see ref 22b. Indeed there are varying concentrations of Cl-, I-, and Br- in the samples, but all on a micromolar to millimolar concentration in phosphate buffer, which should be small enough not to have an effect.

The absence of detectable signals for porphyrin intermediates seems to be a general problem for all groups who try to study porphyrins with FSRS.
