摘要
ELECTRON transfer plays a crucial role in energy transformation of natural biological systemssuch as the photosynthetic process by which plants convert solar energy into chemical energy.This is achieved in photosynthesis by a series of electron transfers which occur after light is ab-sorbed. Among the various factors which influence the efficiency of electron transfer struc-tural effect is one of the important features to be considered. In recent years, numerous syn-thetic model dyads in which electron donor and electron acceptor are covalently linked by dif-ferent spacers have been designed and synthesized in an effort to understand how the
