On the course to sustainable energy, artificial photosynthesis is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. From a chemist point of view, the understanding of proton-coupled electron transfers which take place during the process is a fundamental issue. To decipher them, transient absorption spectroscopy, applied to model systems, is a method of choice. General methods and most recent results obtained by this technique are the object of the present review. |
