Supramolecular Modulation of Photoinduced Charge Transfer: Tuning Between Tunneling and Incoherent Hopping
by 5.9- to 230-fold, shifting from single-step superexchange to multistep incoherent charge shift, while charge recombination rates are decreased (from 1.3‑ to 2.8‑fold) in superexchange systems. Additionally, guest-induced charge trapping was also successfully demonstrated. This research exemplifies a fresh strategy for manipulating CT dynamics via noncovalent interactions, opening new avenues for the design of advanced artificial light-harvesting materials.
