A new donor‐DNA‐acceptor system has been synthesized containing Nile red‐modified 2′‐deoxyuridine as charge donor and 6‐N,N‐dimethylaminopyrene‐modified 2′‐deoxyuridine as acceptor to investigate the charge transfer in DNA duplexes using fluorescence spectroscopy and time‐resolved femtosecond pump‐probe techniques. Fluorescence quenching experiments revealed that the quenching efficiency of Nile red depends on two components: 1) the presence of a charge acceptor and 2) the number of intervening CG and AT base pairs between donor and acceptor. Surprisingly, the quenching efficiency of two base pairs (73 % for CG and the same for AT) is higher than that for one base pair (68 % for CG and 37 % for AT), while at a separation of three base pairs less than 10 % quenching is observed. A comparison with the results of time‐resolved measurements revealed a correlation between quenching efficiency and the first ultrafast time constant suggesting that quenching proceeds via a charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor. All transients are satisfactorily described with two decays: a rapid charge transfer with 600 fs (∼1012s−1) that depends strongly and in a non‐linear fashion on the distance between donor and acceptor, and a slower time constant of a few picoseconds (∼1011s−1) with weak distance dependence. A third time constant on a nanosecond time scale represents the fluorescence lifetime of the donor molecule. According to these results and time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations a combination of single‐step superexchange and multistep hopping mechanisms can be proposed for this short‐range charge transfer. Furthermore, significantly less quenching efficiency and slower charge transfer rates at very short distances indicate that the direct interaction between donor and acceptor leads to a local structural distortion of DNA duplexes which may provide some uncertainty in identifying the charge transfer rates in short‐range systems.
