Experimental Section 6<br />
Picosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ps-TAS): Firstly, a white light continuum was<br />
generated as a test beam within a cell containing D2O/H2O using intense 25 ps pulses from a<br />
Nd 3+ :YAG laser (PL 2143A, Ekspla) at 1064 nm. Before passing through the sample, the<br />
continuum radiation was split to obtain a reference spectrum. The transmitted as well as the<br />
reference beam were focused into two optical fibers and recorded simultaneously at<br />
different traces on a CCD matrix (Lot-Oriel, Instaspec IV). As excitation beam, tunable<br />
radiation from an OPO/OPG (Ekspla PG 401/SH, tuning range 200-2300 nm) pumped by the<br />
3 rd harmonic of the same laser was used. The mechanical delay line allowed the<br />
measurement of light-induced changes of the absorption spectrum at different delays of up<br />
to 15 ns after excitation. The analysis of experimental data was performed using the<br />
compensation method. 109<br />
Photosensitized steady-state singlet oxygen luminescence was measured at 1270 nm upon<br />
excitation of the samples at 515 nm by a cw Yb:YAG laser (Versadisk, ELS) equipped with a<br />
frequency doubling unit. The corresponding set up for the detection of the luminescence<br />
signal is reported in literature. 111b<br />
Cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed on an Autolab Instrument with<br />
PGSTAT 30 in a three electrodes arrangement (Deutsche Metrohm GmbH & Co. KG):<br />
measuring electrode: gold disc electrode (0.07 cm 2 ); counter electrode: Pt wire; reference<br />
electrode: Ag/AgCl (3 M NaCl) at constantly 25°C in CH2Cl2 solution (electrochemistry grade).<br />
Scan rates: ν = 50 mV·s -1 . Supporting electrolyte: n-Bu4NPF6 at c = 0.1 M. Potentials given vs.<br />
ferrocene with E(Fc/Fc + ) = +0.53 V as internal standard.<br />
Enantiomeric resolution by HPLC: Analytical resolutions were performed on Jasco HPLC<br />
systems (pump PU1580, gradient unit LG-980-025 or LG-2080-04, degasser DG-2080-53 or<br />
DG-2080-54, UV detector MD-2010Plus or Erma Cr. Inc. Erc-7215) equipped with Chirex (S)-<br />
Val or Lux Cellulose-1 columns (4.6x250 mm; 5μm), both PHENOMENEX, as chiral phases.<br />
LC-CD coupling: Online CD spectra were recorded at room temperature using a Jasco 715<br />
spectropolarimeter (scanning rate: 500 nm/min, bandwidth: 0.5 nm, response time: 0.5 s,<br />
number of accumulations: 5).<br />
