The dynamics of charge recombination (CR) of ion pairs formed upon electron-transfer quenching of Zn tetraphenylporphine (ZnTPP) in the S₂Â state has been investigated by fluorescence upconversion. These ion pairs have two possible CR pathways:Â (A) a highly exergonic CR to the neutral ground state and (B) a moderately exergonic CR leading to the formation of ZnTPP in the S₁Â state. Upon addition of quencher, the S₂Â fluorescence decreases considerably, while the S₁Â fluorescence is unaffected, indicating unambiguously that CR occurs via path B. A large fraction of the S₂Â fluorescence quenching occurs in less than 100 fs. CR to the S₁Â state of ZnTPP takes place with time constants around 400 fs.
