This paper presents the results of an investigation into the sequence‐dependent excess‐electron transfer (EET) dynamics in DNA, which plays an important role in DNA damage/repair. There are many published studies on EET in consecutive adenine:thymine (A:T) sequences (Tn), but those in alternating A:T sequences (ATn) remain limited. Here, two series of functionalized DNA oligomers,TnandATn, were synthesized with a strongly electron‐donating photosensitizer, a trimer of ethylenedioxythiophene (3 E), and an electron acceptor, diphenylacetylene (DPA). Laser flash photolysis experiments showed that the EET rate constant ofAT3is two times lower than that ofT3due to the lack of π‐stacking of Ts inAT3. Thus, it was indicated that excess‐electron hopping is affected by the interaction between LUMOs of nucleotides.
