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.<br> The filenames refer to the sample and addition of aliquots of trifluoroacetic acid (numbers refer to molar equivalents of acid).
