Abstract

Photoinduced symmetry breaking (SB) charge separation (CS) occurs when an excited chromophore is surrounded by several identical electron donors or acceptors, but it can also happen between two identical molecular units when one of them is in an excited state. Such a process is observed in the reaction center of photosynthetic purple bacteria, where a bacteriochlorophyll dimer is surrounded by two almost identical branches of protein- ...
