The synthesis of a series of molecules D2-D1-A is described in which 2 electron donor chromophores (D1, a trialkylamino group, and D2, a (substituted) anilino group) and an electron acceptor chromophore (A, a (cyano)naphthyl group) are linked by a saturated paraffinic skeleton of well-defined conformation, which maintains closest atom-atom distances of 2.4 and 4.7 .ANG. between A and D1, and D2, respectively. The fluorescence spectra of the trichromophoric molecules display an intramolecular charge-transfer emission at significantly lower energy than bichromorphoric molecules D1-A lacking the anilino donor. Together with the response of the charge-transfer fluorescence to substituents in the anilino group, this implies that in the emissive excited state a substantial positive charge develops at D2. Photoinduced electron transfer in bichromophoric molecules D1-A is effectively canceled upon selective protonation of D1 in acidified polar media. Under these conditions, the trichromorphoric systems, however, switch to a mode of electron involving direct long-range electron transfer from D2 to A.
