Transient absorption decay rate constants (kobs) for reactions of electronically excited zinc tetraphenylporphyrin ((3)ZnTPP*) with triruthenium oxo-centered acetate-bridged clusters [Ru3(μ3-O)(μ-CH3CO2)6(CO)(L)]2(μ-pz), where pz = pyrazine and L = 4-cyanopyridine (cpy) (1), pyridine (py) (2), or 4-dimethylaminopyridine (dmap) (3), were obtained from nanosecond flash-quench spectroscopic data (...
