  1. aMeasured in CH3OH under air at room temperature.
  2. bElectrochemical measurements were performed in deoxygenated MeCN with 0.1 M n-Bu4NPF6 as the supporting electrolyte; the potentials were measured vs. Ag/AgCl couple and converted to the normal hydrogen electrode (NHE).
  3. cE0-0 values were estimated from the intersection of the normalized absorption and the emission spectra in CH2Cl2 at room temperature.
  4. dE(PS*/PS) = Ered + E0-0; E(PS+/PS*) = EoxE0-0.
  5. eMeasured in nitrogen-saturated CH2Cl2 at room temperature.
