ns laser flash photolysis of KMoSn[BOD] in MeCN

Transient absorption spectroscopy was performed on acetonitrile solution samples of the bodipy hybrid TBA-KMoSn[BOD] with an OD 0.25 to 0.9 AU, in a 1 mm pathlength quartz cuvette. The samples were purged with N2 before each measurement. For recording the ns-μs dynamics of the Mo system an externally triggered Q-switched Nd: YVO4 laser (Advanced Optical Technology, 532 nm, 1 ns pulses, intensity of ~600 μW) was used as a pump source, while the ordinary femtosecond detection, photodiode array coupled to a spectrograph (Pascher Instruments), with supercontinuum probe was used to record the transient changes in the absorption. The filenames refer to the sample and addition of aliquots of trifluoroacetic acid (numbers refer to molar equivalents of acid).
