ENDOR on the Primary Electron Donor Cation Radical of Heterodimer-Double-Mutants of Rb. sphaeroides. Effect of Hydrogen Bonding on the Electronic Structure of Bacteriochlorophyll a-type Radicals

This review focuses on the recent advances in EPR spectroscopy as they are applied both to photoinduced electron transfer in the photosynthetic apparatus and to biomimetic systems. The review deals with time-resolved direct-detection cw and pulsed EPR and ENDOR methods, both at conventional bands [X-(9.5 GHz), K-(24 GHz), and Q-(35 GHz)(] and at high frequency bands (W-band, 95 GHz, and even higher frequency bands). EPR studies on photosynthetic and model systems in their doublet, triplet and radical pair states are surveyed, including their static and dynamic properties. APplications of time-resolved EPR in studying photoinduced electron and energy transfer in isotropic and anisotropic environments, and the concepts of electron spin polarization and magnetic field effects in photochemical reactions are also reviewed.

Some of the significant advances in time-resolved multifrequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) methods are reviewed, with the explicit focus on studies of light-driven processes and photoreactions in real time. Prominent examples are excited state electron transfer reactions with transient charge-separated radical pairs playing a central role. Paramagnetic intermediates and products are key functional states; thus EPR is the method of choice for their characterization. Photogenerated spin polarization and coherences as process-inherent features add the practical advantage of compensation in the trade-off between sensitivity and time resolution. Additionally, they provide detailed structural and dynamic information on the photoreactive system. Significance and specificity of the results achieved for charge separation in photosynthetic reaction centers and donor-acceptor model complexes indicate highly promising perspectives in photochemical research.
