ferent techniques: intensity <strong>and</strong> lifetime quenching, <strong>and</strong> transient absorption<br />

spectroscopy. These quenchers were chosen to explore different quenching<br />

mechanisms. Whereas in the case <strong>of</strong> dioxygen the quenching mechanism is<br />

still an object <strong>of</strong> controversy, <strong>and</strong> should involve both energy <strong>and</strong> electron<br />

transfer, it is known that the [Ru(bpy)3] 2+ excited state is quenched by MA,<br />

PTZ, <strong>and</strong> MV 2+ via energy transfer, reductive <strong>and</strong> oxidative electron transfer<br />

mechanisms, respectively. The results obtained with the quenchers MA, PTZ,
