Energy transfer in the radiolysis of cyclopentane–cyclohexane mixtures has been studied by observing the yields of HD and D2 obtained when small amounts of cyclohexane-d12 are added. Energy migration occurs from cyclopentane to cyclohexane but this transfer can be prevented by the addition of carbon tetrachloride or iodine. The relative yields of the dimers (C6H11)2, C6H9C6H11, and (C5H3)2 show that the •C6H11 and •C5H9 radicals, which are the precursors of the dimers, can abstract hydrogen atoms from the solvent and may thus change their identity. Added iodine or carbon tetrachloride removes the diffusing radicals, and the residual dimer yield, which is unaffected by solute, has a composition determined solely by the composition of the mixtures. The yields of cyclohexene and cyclopentene show evidence of both energy transfer and radical change of identity.

A theory of the excitation energy transfer between like molecules in isotropic solution based on a centre or shell model of a primarily excited luminescent molecule and on the extended Förster “excitation master equation” has been elaborated. Fluorescence and phosphorescence depolarization are shown to be governed by singlet-singlet energy migration and described by the same expression. The comparison of the theoretical curve with the experimental data obtained by Gondo et al. (1975) for benzo[f]quinoline in ethanol glass at 77 K results in the following critical distance R0 for the excitation energy migration: 21.5 Å for fluorescence and phosphorescence, respectively.

Recent discoveries from our research groups on the photophysics of a few cofacial bisporphyrin dyads for through space singlet and triplet energy transfers raised several important investigations about the mechanism of energy transfers and energy migration in light-harvesting devices, notably LH II, in the heavily investigated purple photosynthetic bacteria. The key feature is that for face-to-face and slipped dyads with controlled structure using rigid spacers or spacers with limited flexibilities, our fastest rates for singlet energy transfer are in the 10 × 109 s -1 (i.e. 100 ps time scale) for donor-acceptor distances of ~3.5–3.6 Å. The time scale for energy transfers between different bacteriochlorophylls, notably B800*→B850, is in the ps despite the long Mg ⋯ Mg separation (~18 Å). This short rate drastically contrasts with the well-accepted Förster theory. This review focuses on the photophysical processes and dynamics in LH II and compares these parameters with our investigated model dyads build upon octa-etio-porphyrin chromophores and rigid and semi-rigid spacers. The recently discovered role of the rhodopin glucoside (carotenoid) will be analyzed as possible relay for energy transfers, including the possibility of uphill processes at room temperature. In this context the concept of energy migration may be complemented by parallel relays and uphill processes. It is also becoming more obvious that the irreversible electron transfer at the reaction center (electron transfer from the special pair to the phaeophytin) renders the rates for energy transfer and migration faster precluding all possibility of back transfers.
