Nanosecond and picosecond kinetic techniques [employing a ruby laser system] were used to study electron transfer from the 1st excited singlet state (Bph*) and the 1st excited triplet state (BphT) of [Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides] bacteriophenophytin to p-benzoquinone. Quenching of Bph* by 40 mM p-benzoquinone results in a decrease in the lifetime of Bph* but does not lead directly to the formation of the .pi.-cation radical .**GRAPHIC**. In the presence of both 8 M methyl iodide and 40 mM p-benzoquinone, the singlet lifetime is reduced further, but the quantum yield of BphT is enhanced due to the increased rate of intersystem crossing between Bph* and BphT. Electron transfer from BphT to p-benzoquinone leads to the formation and detection of .**GRAPHIC**. The results are discussed in terms of the spin-selectivity of the reverse electron transfer process within the intermediate charge transfer complexes.
